Etymology
First attested as amuthon in 918-948. Derived from a compound of Old Dutch ā (“watercourse, river”) and the dative plural form of Old Dutch *mūtha (“mouth”) (a variant with Ingvaeonic loss of the nasal before a dental with compensatory lengthening of the preceding vowel; contrast "standard" Istvaeonic munt) or of Old Frisian mūtha (“mouth”); this latter element (modern Dutch muide) referring to its location at the mouth of the Vecht river, with the dative being used as a dative of location. The first element was gradually lost.
