1. Archaic form of Schmied (“smith”).

Usage notes

• The stem Schmidt generally occurred only in the uninflected form, while inflected forms were built from the stem Schmied- (also spelt Schmid-). However, forms with generalization of the uninflected stem are also attestable. In contemporary German, conversely, the inflected stem has been generalized. (Alternation is still preserved in Dutch smid, plural smeden.)
