köken: From myö + -ntää, from the same root √myö- (Proto-Finnic *möö-) as myöhä, myös, myötä. Cognate with Karelian myöntyö (“to calm down, cool down”). Originally attested in 1756 in the sense “to give in, give way, yield”; the modern senses are based on the sense “to concede, admit; to grant”, which was coined by Finnish physician and philologist Elias Lönnrot in 1837.
