Etimologie (Engels)

From Middle Dutch betamen, from tamen (“to behove, befit”), ultimately from Proto-Germanic *tamōną, though exact cognates are lacking. Other Germanic languages have cognates with -e- or -i-: Old High German zeman (German ziemen), Old Saxon teman, Old Frisian timia, Old English temian (English beteem). However, the -a- is also found in tamelijk.
