Etymology
From Middle High German dīchte, from Old High German *dīhti, from Proto-West Germanic *þį̄ht(ī), from Proto-Germanic *þinhtaz. The modern vocalism is from Middle Low German dicht(e) with Low German shortening before -cht (compare German leicht and German Low German licht). The expected form deicht is attested in early modern German. Cognate with Dutch dicht, English tight.
