Etymology 1

[edit]

From Middle Dutch jacht, jaecht, jaget, from Old Dutch *jagot, from Proto-West Germanic *jagōþu (hunt, hunting). Equivalent to jagen (to hunt) +‎ -t (verbal noun). Cognate with German Jagd. The form jaecht is due to contraction and jacht to subsequent pre-cluster shortening. (Compare maagd, in which an analogous development was probably hindered by the potential homophone macht.)

Noun

jacht f (uncountable)
