köken: Unknown. Related to Ingrian adria, Karelian atrivo and possibly Veps ater. Sometimes theorized to be a borrowing from Proto-Norse [script needed] (*ateRja-), from Proto-Germanic *ētezją, but there appears to be no evidence of the existence of such a Norse word (no known descendants).

köken: Cognate with Aramaic קַמְחָא (qamḥā, “flour”) and Arabic قَمْح (qamḥ, “wheat”).

Etimoloji
15th century, from Mahl (“meal”) + Zeit (“time”). The word Mahl (a spelling variant of Mal) originally meant "mealtime", but was transferred to the meal itself. The compound then assumed the sense "mealtime", but ultimately underwent the same semantic development yet again. Compare Dutch maaltijd, English mealtide, Danish måltid, Icelandic máltíð.
