Ετυμολογία (Αγγλικός)

Κληρονομήθηκε από Μέσα Αγγλικά: gilt

Κληρονομήθηκε από Παλαιά Αγγλικά: gylt

Συγγενές με Middle Low German: gülde

Συγγενές με Μέσα Άνω Γερμανικά: gülte

In summary

From Middle English gilt, gult, from Old English gylt (“guilt, sin, offense, crime, fault”), of obscure origin, but possibly related with Old English ġieldan (“to pay, requite, punish”), whence yield. More specifically it could be connected with Proto-West Germanic *guldijā, whence Middle Low German gülde, Middle High German gülte (“debt, fee, financial duty”). However, neither the Old English stem form nor the -t (instead of -d) fit the continental form.
