Gehalt

German Pronunciation de /ɡəˈhalt/ de De-Gehalt.ogg de De-Gehalt2.ogg <<Germany>> (<<Berlin>>) Etymology 1 From de gmh gehalt, deverbal from gmh gehalten to keep still, retain, preserve, imprison, itself from gmh halten to hold. The earliest attested sense of the noun is “custody, prison”. In some southern dialects it also means “room, container, closet”. The modern sense develops in the 15th century, at first in the context of coins and metal alloys. Noun m,s:es content, fraction amount or percentage of some material in a mass de Anteil Bestandteil de archaic content that which is inside, contained de Inhalt Declension m,s:es Derived terms de Alkoholgehalt Eiweißgehalt Fettgehalt Gehaltsangabe gehaltvoll Goldgehalt Kaloriengehalt Sauerstoffgehalt Silbergehalt Etymology 2 18th century, originally for “pension”. Derived from de ge- halten (here in the sense of “to maintain, keep, support”, cf. de unterhalten). Neuter gender is expected when de ge- is a nominal suffix (rather than part of the verb stem). However, the masculine was originally predominant, likely by analogy with etymology 1 above. The neuter did establish itself since the 19th century.
