Etymology
In summary
From Middle High German valden, valten, from Old High German faldan, faltan, from Proto-West Germanic *falþan. The irregular forms with -t- arose through early levelling of Grammatischer Wechsel, but remained rare in both Old and Middle High German. They probably established themselves in modern German by analogy as there are several verbs in -alten (halten, schalten, spalten, walten), but none in -alden.
