Etymology
[edit]Possibly from Tocharian B mit, from Proto-Indo-European *médʰu (“honey”). Cognate with Tocharian B mit (“honey”), English mead, German Met (“mead”), Swedish mjöd (“mead”), Sanskrit मधु (madhu, “honey”), Ancient Greek μέθυ (méthu, “wine”), Old Church Slavonic медъ (medŭ, “honey”), Russian мёд (mjod, “honey”), Polish miód (“honey”).[1]
Sense “mistress, young girl” is additionally a phono-semantic matching of English miss.
