Etimologia

From Middle High German tihten, from Old High German tihtōn, dihtōn, Proto-West Germanic *dihtōn. The consonantism (d-/t-) was very unstable in early modern German; the voiced onset, which is in line with Middle Low German dichten, has prevailed. Cognate with Dutch dichten, English dight.
