Where this word comes from
Etymology tree Proto-Indo-European *deh₂- Proto-Indo-European *deh₂y- Proto-Indo-European *-tis Proto-Indo-European *déh₂itis Proto-Germanic *tīdiz Proto-West Germanic *tīdi Old Dutch tīt Middle Dutch tijt Dutch tijd Inherited from Middle Dutch tijt, from Old Dutch tīt, from Proto-West Germanic *tīdi, from Proto-Germanic *tīdiz, from Proto-Indo-European *déh₂itis, from *deh₂y- + *-tis. In the 19th and 20th centuries, Dutch tijd was exclusively masculine, but prior to that it was alternatively feminine. This variation is reflected in fossilized expressions like tand des tijds, destijds, ten tijde van (masculine) versus tegelijkertijd, toentertijd, indertijd (feminine). Cognates with English tide, more distantly, with time.
