Clarification regarding the word in

A lot of people have commented saying that in is of Germanic origin which matches what I had previously thought When researching this video I looked up the etymology of in and read that its of Latin origin meaning into in on upon So I thought that it must have been one of the early borrowings into Germanic dialects that I mentioned in the video

But I went back and checked the source again and I realized that the dictionary entry I was reading was for the PREFIX in- not the standalone word The standalone word has always existed in the Germanic language family And ultimately both the Germanic and Latin words come from the Proto-Indo-European word music 1 “Night Music” by Kevin MacLeod
