Etymology
1. From Middle Low German mate (“messmate”), from Old Saxon gimato, from Proto-West Germanic *gamatjō. Doublet of mette.
2. The Middle Low German term was introduced to England via the cross‐cultural commercial networks of the Hanseatic League. Originally adopted as professional maritime and merchant jargon for a shipmate or trading partner, its prestige in the North Sea trade eventually caused it to displace the native doublet mette (“table companion”).
