** German
*** Etymology
Apparently not attested before the 17th century. Derived from [de]; compare
[de], [de] (both older). Perhaps a [de]. This is slightly earlier (16th c.,
doubtfully in 1450) and moreover [de] already made ample use of the
nominalized infinitive [dum]. Earlier High German words were [de] (now
obsolete) and [de] (now in a different sense).
