Etymologie (Engels)

Overgenomen van Middelengels: mistaken

Verwant aan IJslands: mistaka

Verwant aan Zweeds: missta

In summary

From Middle English mistaken, from Old Norse mistaka (“to take in error, to miscarry”); equivalent to mis- + take. Cognate with Icelandic mistaka (“to mistake”), Swedish missta (“to mistake”) (before apocope misstaga).
The noun, which replaced earlier mistaking, is derived from the verb.
