From Proto-Hellenic *mḗtis, from Proto-Indo-European *méh₁tis (“measurement”), from Proto-Indo-European *meh₁- (“to measure”).
Cognate with Old English mǣþ. Apparently an Aeolic or Doric form, as the Attic-Ionic form would have been *μῆσις (*mêsis).
μῆτῐς • (mêtĭs) f (genitive μήτῐος or μήτῐδος); third declension (poetic)
