Etymology

From earlier maht due to breaking before [-ht], from Proto-West Germanic *mahti, from Proto-Germanic *mahtiz, *mahtuz (“might, power”), from Proto-Indo-European *mógʰtis, *megʰ- (“to allow, be able, help”). Cognates include Old Frisian macht, mecht (West Frisian macht), Middle Dutch macht (Dutch macht), Old High German maht (German Macht), Old Norse máttr (Icelandic máttur), Gothic (mahts).
