German

Etymology

From (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Middle High German pfaht, from (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Latin pactum (“pact”). The unshifted onset p-, the feminine gender, and the contemporary plural form in -en are northern influences from (deprecated template usage) [etyl] German Low German 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.
