Etymology: From Middle Dutch and Middle Low German wette, from Proto-Germanic *witōþą. Doublet of inherited wizzōt (“sacrament”). The word is attested only in Malagīs (translation of the Middle Dutch Malegijs) and in the works of Brun von Schönebeck (from Low German Magdeburg). However, the Dutch borrowing was alive in Ripuarian, where it is attested in actual use in the 16th century, and where it survived until the 20th century in the expression enge Wette stelle (“to make strict rules”).
