Cognate with English

mitch

In summary

16th century, possibly inherited from Middle High German *miucheln, *mūcheln, from Old High German *mūhhilōn, iterative of mūhhōn (“to lurk, ambush”), from Proto-Germanic *mūkōną. The earlier existence of the iterative verb is ascertained by derivatives such as Middle High German miucheler, mūcheler, Old High German mūhhilāri (“bandit”). The modern form is either an unattested inheritance or a backformation from those derivatives. Related with English mitch.
