editEtymology 2
editFrom Middle High German rōst, from Old High German rōst, of West Germanic origin. Cognate with Middle Dutch rôost, Middle Low German rôst. From Germanic stems Old French rostir (“to roast”), whence English roast.
Alongside this masculine stood a feminine Middle High German rōste, Old High German rōsta, Middle Low German rôste (whence dated modern German Roste f). Further the derived Dutch rooster, Middle Low German rôster, which is attested with all three genders. In contemporary German, Rost is alternatively construed as a neuter, probably driven by the desire to distinguish it from etymology 1 and perhaps by analogy with Blech (“baking sheet”).
