Etymology 1

From Middle Dutch vucht, vocht. Substantivized form of an identical adjective, from Old Dutch *fuhti (“humid, wet, damp; marsh-like”), from Proto-West Germanic *fų̄ht, from Proto-Germanic *funhtijaz (“humid, wet, damp”).

In Middle Dutch the word gradually shifted from being an adjective to being a noun, with the old adjective being replaced by vochtig (“humid, wet”).
