Etimologie (Engels)

Geërf van Middle French: eu

Geërf van Old French: eu

In summary

From Middle French eu, from Old French eü, from Vulgar Latin *habūtus, replacing Classical Latin habitus.
The spelling, which contradicts the pronunciation, is because Middle French -eu- besides /ø/ also sometimes represented long /yː/. The latter cases were generally replaced with -û- in Early Modern French, e.g. dû, flûte for Middle French deu, fleute. However, in the case of eu and related forms the spelling û was considered awkward and so the Middle French form was preserved.
