What given means
Accepted as a fact or starting point; assumed to be true for the purpose of discussion or argument.
Where the word comes from
From Old English *gifen*, past participle of *gifan* (to give), which comes from Proto-Germanic *gebanan*. This root is shared across Germanic languages and likely derives from an Indo-European base meaning "to grasp" or "to hold," the idea being that giving means letting go of something you hold. The word has remained remarkably stable in form and meaning across over a thousand years of English.
