Etymology
From Middle Dutch meter, metere, equivalent to meten (“to measure”) + -er. Compare English meter, German Messer m. In some compounds conflated with Ancient Greek μέτρον (métron), which is unrelated or, according to one theory, distantly related with the Dutch verb. See: English Nouns '
meter', German Nouns '
Messer', Ancient Greek Nouns '
μέτρον'.
