Etymologie

From Middle Dutch gerichte, gerechte (“court of law”), from Old Dutch *gerihte, from Proto-Germanic *garihtiją (“something prepared or arranged”). Compare Old English gerihte. The sense "dish" developed independently already in Old Dutch gerihte (“meal”).
Cognate in both meanings: German Gericht.
