Where this word comes from
First attested in the 1600s. Borrowed from Danish or Middle High German art, both from Middle Low German ārt, from Old Saxon *ard, from Proto-Germanic *ardiz (“nature, quality, characteristic”). The sense "art" is a borrowing from French art, which is a distant cognate. Compare Norwegian Bokmål, Norwegian Nynorsk, and Swedish art. Doublet of arður.
