German

Etymology

[edit]

From Middle High German pfaht, from Latin pactum (pact). The unshifted onset p-, the feminine gender, and the contemporary plural form in -en are northern influences from German Low German [Term?] and/or West Central German. In Grimm's German dictionary, the word is still treated as a masculine noun with plural Pächte; this is now obsolete.
