In German 'beschließen' where schließen means to close.
- carlmr 5y agoI think that may be the missing link here. It's probably from German beschließen, which would have been translated part by part as besluiten in Dutch, but in this case they took over the German word with the t -> ss high German consonant shift.
- tgv 5y agoEarliest findings of besluiten in Dutch is 1059 (https://gtb.ivdnt.org/iWDB/search?actie=article&wdb=WNT&id=M007643&lemmodern=besluiten&domein=0&conc=true https://gtb.ivdnt.org/iWDB/search?actie=article&wdb=WNT&id=M...). Derived from "sluten, sluyten, slieten" (https://gtb.ivdnt.org/iWDB/search?actie=article&wdb=MNW&id=52619&lemmodern=sluiten&domein=0&conc=true https://gtb.ivdnt.org/iWDB/search?actie=article&wdb=MNW&id=5...) which is stated as related to schliessen, but etymology is not known.
