Etymology 1

From Middle Dutch jacht, jaecht, jaget, from Old Dutch *jagot, from Proto-West Germanic *jagōþu (“hunt, hunting”). Equivalent to jagen (“to hunt”) +‎ -t (“verbal noun”). Cognate with German Jagd. The form jaecht is due to contraction and jacht to subsequent pre-cluster shortening. (Compare maagd, in which an analogous development was probably hindered by the potential homophone macht.)

Noun

jacht f (uncountable)

1. hunt, hunting
2. chase, pursuit
