Where this word comes from

From Middle Dutch pacht, Old Dutch *paht, from Proto-West Germanic [Term?], from Latin pactum. Cognates include Old High German pfāht, Old Frisian pacht; the effects of the Germanic spirant law in these words and the effects of the High German consonant shift in the High German cognate in particular point to a very early borrowing. Doublet of pact.
