Etymology
From jedyny + -ie. The form with the hard -d- was originally a dialectal result of depalatalization that occurred in Lesser Poland, but ultimately displaced the form with -dz-. First attested in 1522. Compare Kashubian jedinie /jedënie and Silesian jedzinie /jedynie for the hard/soft variation.
