smitn.1

Brit. /smɪt/, U.S. /smɪt/, Scottish English /smɪt/
Forms: Old English smitt- (inflected form), Old English smyttena (genitive plural, rare), Middle English 1600s–1700s smitt, Middle English– smit; also Scottish pre-1700 smyt, pre-1700 smyte, 2000s– smitt.
Origin: A word inherited from Germanic.
Etymology: Cognate with Middle Dutch smitte (also smette ), Middle Low German smitte (also smette ; German regional (Low German) smitte ), Middle High German smitze (German Schmitze ), Old Swedish smitta (Swedish smitta ), Old Danish smitte (Danish smitte ), and (with different stem-class) Old Frisian smet , Middle Dutch smit (also smet ; Dutch smet ), German regional (Low German) smit (also smet ), Old High German smiz (Middle High German smitz , German Schmitz ), Old Swedish smit (Swedish regional smitt ; also Swedish smet ), all in sense ‘spot, stain, smear’, etc. < an ablaut variant (zero-grade) of the Germanic base of smite v. Compare smot n.1, smut n.Forms in the Scandinavian languages are probably borrowed from Middle Low German. Old English only attested in inflected forms of the weak declension, but usually assumed to be a feminine (smitte), like Middle Dutch smitte, Middle Low German smitte, Middle High German smitze. Like these, the Old English forms show gemination of the consonant.
