Étymologie (English)
In summary
From Middle High German ambahte, ambehte, ambet, ammet, ampt, ambt, amt, from Old High German ambahti, ambaht, from Proto-West Germanic *ambaht, from Proto-Germanic *ambahtaz, from Gaulish ambaxtos, from Proto-Celtic *ambaxtos. The Middle High German contracted form amb(e)t developed quite regularly, via also attested ammet or ambt, into modern German Amt. Cognate with Dutch ambacht and ambt, Swedish ämbete, and Finnish ammatti, as well as English ambassador and embassy.
