Where this word comes from

From Middle High German dēmuot, diemuot, diemüete, from southern Old High German thiomuotī (ca. 800), from thio (“unfree, adscript”) + muot (“mood, attitude”), thus literally “serf-mindedness”. The word spread from Upper German during Middle High German times, gradually displacing the northern ōtmuotī (compare Old Saxon ōthmōdī). Northern sources almost invariably show -e- instead of -ie-, but this form also appears in the south and must thus be considered an internal, irregular development. Middle Low German dêmôt, Middle Dutch dêmoet are both late (15th c.) borrowings from High German.
