Etymology

From Middle Dutch tijt, from Old Dutch tīt, from Proto-Germanic *tīdiz. In the 19th and 20th centuries, Dutch tijd was exclusively masculine, but prior to that it was alternatively feminine. This variation is reflected in fossilized expressions like tand des tijds, destijds, ten tijde van (masculine) versus tegelijkertijd (feminine). Cognates with English tide.
