Étymologie (Anglais)

From Middle Dutch ampt. Originally the same word as ambacht and possibly a mere variant of it. However, the fact that the earliest occurrences are found in texts by eastern writers, makes it likely that this form is a borrowing from Middle High German ambet, ambt (whence modern German Amt), from Old High German ambahti, from Proto-Germanic *ambahtaz, from Gaulish ambaxtos, from Proto-Celtic *ambaxtos.
