According to the Online Etymological Dictionary, the word comes from the old English "innung," meaning "a taking in, a putting in." The e-zine Take Our Word for It notes "inning" is the past participle of the old English verb "to in," meaning "to put in, take in, enclose, or include." Thus, "innings" is the period of time a team or player is "in" or "in play."
