===Etymology 2===
From {{bor|gmh|dum|-}} and {{bor|gmh|gml|wette}}, from {{der|gmh|gem-pro|*witōþą}}. Doublet of inherited {{doublet|gmh|wizzōt|t1=sacrament|notext=1}}. The word is attested only in ''Malagīs'' (translation of the Middle Dutch ''[[w:nl:Malegijs|Malegijs]]'') and in the works of [[w:de:Brun von Schönebeck|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 {{m|gmw-cfr||enge Wette stelle|t=to make strict rules}}.
