arbeid

== Dutch == === Etymology === From Middle Dutch arbeit, from Old Dutch arbeit, arbeith alongside arvit, arvith, from Proto-West Germanic *arbaidi ~ *arbaiþi, from Proto-Germanic *arbaidiz. Some commentators think that the form with -b- must be due to influence by Old High German arbeit, but this is not certain. The stop could also have to do with a secondary stress that developed early on (and the Old Dutch vowels ei vs. i might confirm this). The same -b- also widely appears in Low German and Central Franconian, which have the same development of West Germanic *b as Dutch. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈɑrbɛi̯t/ Hyphenation: ar‧beid === Noun === arbeid m (uncountable, no diminutive) labour, work Synonym: werk (physics) work ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Related terms ==== arbeiden arbeider robot ==== Descendants ==== Afrikaans: arbeid === References === van der Sijs, Nicoline, editor (2010), “arbeid”, in Etymologiebank, Meertens Institute == Norwegian Bokmål == === Etymology 1 === Borrowed from Middle Low German arbeit, from Proto-Germanic *arbaidiz.
