Etymology

1. Inherited from Old English tēoþa, teogoþa, from Proto-West Germanic *tehundō, *tegundō, from Proto-Germanic *tehundô, *tegundô; equivalent to ten + -the (ordinal suffix); compare tenthe.
2. Forms with /iː/ (found especially in the sense "tithe") perhaps come from Old English *tigoþa, a form of teogoþa influenced by ordinals for multiples of 10 such as twentigoþa and þrītigoþa. See: Old English Nouns 'tēoþa', Old English Nouns 'tēoþa'.
