Etimologie (Engels)

Geërf van Middle High German: gevatere

Geërf van Old High German: gifatero

Verwante met Old English: ġefædera

Verwante met Middle Low German: gevādere

Verwante met Nederlands: gevader

In summary

From Middle High German gevatere, gevater, gefater, from Old High German gifatero (“godfather”), from Proto-West Germanic *gafaderjō, equivalent to ge- + Vater. Cognate with Old English ġefædera (“godfather”), Middle Low German gevādere, Dutch gevader. Compare also Medieval Latin compater. It is unclear whether the Germanic words were calqued from the Latin, or vice versa (compare Late Latin compāniō).
