Etimologie (Engels)

Geërf van Middle High German: wider

Geërf van Old High German: widar

Verwante met Old Saxon: wethar

Verwante met Engels: wether

In summary

From Middle High German wider, from Old High German widar, from Proto-West Germanic *weþru, from Proto-Germanic *weþruz, akin to Old Saxon wethar, English wether. The form with a short vowel is Central German, perhaps standardised in part to avoid the homophony with wider (“against”) and wieder (“again”).
