Etymology
Origin uncertain. Probably from Middle Low German smette, smitte (“mush or paste used by the linen weavers to strengthen the hoist", also "stain, mark, blemish”). Compare Saterland Frisian Smitte (“a kind of paste or glue used to strengthen the lift and shear in weaving”). If so, cognate also with English smit. See: English Nouns '
smit'.
