From Proto-West Germanic *wrang, from Proto-Germanic *wrangaz (“crooked, bent, curved”). Compare Alemannic German Rang (“convolution, bend”), Old Norse vröng (“a ship's rib”) (whence Icelandic röng, Old Norwegian vrǫng).
Attested in later OE. Pons-Sanz and R. Dance argue that it's a native word inherited from Proto-West Germanic *wrang, from Proto-Germanic *wrangaz, and only the meaning was acquired from Old Norse rangr by 中期英語.
