Etimoloxía

Inherited from Middle High German diutisch, diutsch, tiutsch, from Old High German diutisk (“popular, vernacular”), from Proto-West Germanic *þiudisk, from Proto-Germanic *þiudiskaz (“of the people, popular”), an adjective from Proto-Germanic *þeudō (“people”, whence Old English þeod, Icelandic þjóð), from Proto-Indo-European *tewtéh₂.
Cognate with Dutch Duits and Diets, Low German düütsch, English Dutch, Danish tysk. The spelling teutsch was reinforced (if not triggered) by Latin theodiscus and teutonicus. It was predominant in Early New High German, but died out in the 19th century.
