Etimologia (Anglès)

Heretat de alt alemany mitjà: jest

Heretat de alt alemany antic: *jest

Cognat amb neerlandès: gist

Cognat amb anglès: yeast

In summary

From Middle High German jest, gest (“foam”), from Old High German *jest, *gest, from Proto-Germanic *jestuz (“fermentation; fermentative matter”). The form Gischt (instead of expected *Gest, *Jest) is probably onomatopoeic, though it could alternatively be of Alemannic German origin. Cognate with Dutch gist, English yeast.
