Etymologia (Angielski)

Dziedziczone z średnioangielski: myteyne

Pokrewny z francuski: mitaine

Pokrewny z kataloński: mitana

Pokrewny z oksytański: mitana

In summary

From Middle English myteyne, from Old French mitaine (Modern French mitaine), of unclear origin; possibly from mite, miste (“playful name for cat”) + -aine. Alternatively, mitaine may be from Old High German mittamo (“half”), superlative of mitti (“midpoint”), from Proto-Germanic *midjô, *midją (“middle, center”), from Proto-Indo-European *médʰyos (“between, in the middle, center”). Compare Catalan mitana, Medieval Latin mitta, mitana, and Occitan mitana.
