Etymology 1
From Middle English hade, had, hod, hed, from Old English hād (“person, individual, character, individuality, degree, rank, order, office, holy office, condition, state, nature, character, form, manner, sex, race, family, tribe, choir”), from Proto-West Germanic *haidu, from Proto-Germanic *haiduz (“appearance, kind”), from Proto-Indo-European *(s)kāy- (“light, bright, shining”). Cognate with Old Saxon hēd (“condition, rank”), Old High German heit (“person, personality, sex, condition, quality, rank”), Old Norse heiðr ("honour, dignity") (whence Danish hæder (“honour”), Swedish heder (“honour”)), Gothic 𐌷𐌰𐌹𐌳𐌿𐍃 (haidus, “way, manner”). Same as -hood.
