Proto-Germanic

Etymology

An ablaut variant of the root *mēs-, mōs, usually derived from Proto-Indo-European *meh₂d- (“to drip, ooze; grease, fat”). Contrary to Pokorny and followers, Kroonen separates the Germanic food words from this root, instead linking Ancient Greek μεστός (mestós, “full”) for a root *med- (“to satiate”).[1]
