Étymologie (Anglais)

From Middle High German gehalt, deverbal from gehalten (“to keep still, retain, preserve, imprison”), itself from halten (“to hold”). The earliest attested sense of the noun is “custody, prison”. In some southern dialects it also means “room, container, closet”. The modern sense develops in the 15th century, at first in the context of coins and metal alloys.
