German
Etymology
16th century, probably from Dutch muiterij, from Middle Dutch muiterie (attested 1350), eventually derived from Old French meute, whence also German Meute. The Middle Dutch itself might be from Middle French meuterie, which, however, is later and generally rare. While the Middle French is given by several German dictionaries as the etymon of Meuterei, most Dutch dictionaries consider Middle Dutch muiterie as a native derivation.
