Where this word comes from

Compound of jacht (“haste”) or jachten (“to hurry”) + schip (“ship”). Perhaps a modification of Middle Dutch jageschip. Although jachtschip is attested later than jacht (“yacht”), it is often supposed to be the older form; for one, it explains the neuter gender of jacht.
