"Metz" meaning in All languages combined

See Metz on Wiktionary

Noun [Central Franconian]

IPA: /mɛts/ Forms: Metzer [plural], Metzje [diminutive]
Etymology: From Old High German mezzisahs. The Central Franconian -t- might hint at an unshifted relict form; compare Middle Dutch and Limburgish mets. However, the strong contraction may have led to irregular forms, particularly since this /t/ reaches further south than most relict forms do. Influence by the Latin word in Metzeler (“butcher”) is also possible.
