Etymology

Came into English through Middle English dighten, dihten (also dyten, which gave dite), from Old English dihtan, dihtian ("to set in order; dispose; arrange; appoint; direct; compose"), from Proto-West Germanic *dihtōn ("to compose; invent"), whose origin is disputed. It may come from a derivative of Proto-Germanic *dīkaną ("to arrange; create; perform"), from Proto-Indo-European *dʰeyǵ-, *dʰeyǵʰ- ("to knead; shape; mold; build"), with influence from Latin dictāre; or it may come from Latin dictāre ("to dictate") itself. See dictate, and compare the parallel formations German dichten, Dutch dichten, and Swedish dikta.
