Païnt
Limburgish
editEtymology
editFrom earlier pant. Only found in continental Germanic languages (→ German Pfand, Dutch pand, and Swedish pant) and of unresolved origin, various Latin sources have been suggested: Latin pāctum (“agreement”) under the supposition of a Low Latin *pantum from *panctum, or a pondus (“weight”) borrowed so early that it preceded the change from Indo-European o to a in Germanic.
