From earlier metegian, *metigian, an augmented variant (from *metig) merged with metian, from Proto-Germanic *metōną (“to measure, assign, consider”), from Proto-Indo-European *med- (“to think about, reason, decide”). Cognate with Old Frisian metigia (“to moderate, mitigate”), Old High German mezzōn (“to moderate, mitigate”), Gothic (mitōn, “to plan, think about; reason, ponder; argue, debate; think, be concerned for”), Latin meditor (“think, reflect, consider”).
