EtymologyEdit
From Middle Dutch hooch, the original inflected stem hō- reanalysed by analogy with the uninflected form because of word-final devoicing. From Old Dutch hōh, from Proto-West Germanic *hauh, from Proto-Germanic *hauhaz.
Cognate with German hoch, West Frisian heech, Saterland Frisian hag, English high, Danish høj.
