Etymology
1. "stop," 1622, from Fr.
halte or It.
alto, ult. from Ger.
Halt, imperative from O.H.G.
halten "to hold" (see hold). A Ger. militaryommand borrowed into the Romance languages 16c.
2. From Middle English halten, from Old English healtian (“to be lame, walk with a limp”), from Proto-West Germanic *haltōn, related to *halt. English usage in the sense of 'make a halt' is from the noun. Cognate with North Frisian halte, Swedish halta. See: Middle English '
halten', Old English '
healtian', Frisian, Northern 'halte', Swedish '
halta'.
