Etymologie (Englisch)

Geerbt von Mittelniederländisch: her-

In summary

From southern Middle Dutch her- (“re-, again”). Of uncertain origin, but mostly considered a borrowing from Old French re- or specifically its northern variant er-, from Latin re- (existing as a doublet in the borrowed prefix re-). In certain contexts this prefix touched on the native Middle Dutch her- (“here, over”) as in hercōmen (“come over”); see German her- below. Compare the attested phrase wēder herhebben (“to get back”), where her- can be interpreted in both ways. The h-spelling was also reinforced by hypercorrection due to the phoneme's frailness in southern dialects. In some cases this also affected the unrelated prefixes er-, oor-, which see.
