German
Etymology
17th century, borrowed from Middle Low German *juchten, juften (16th c.), from Russian юфть (juftʹ), also юхть (juxtʹ), which see for more.
The ch-form follows the Russian variant with х, but was likely reinforced by the native Low German variation between -ft- and -cht-. Similarly, the final -en can be due to the Russian adjective юфтяной (juftjanoj, “of yuft”) and/or the Germanic suffix -en (“made of”); compare juchten.
