Origin of the word met

The word "met" stems from the Old English word "mētan," meaning "to meet." It's a verb that originated from the Proto-Germanic word "mētaną," which also meant "to meet." "Mētan" evolved into "metan" in Middle English, and finally into "met" in Modern English. This simple word traces its roots back to the very core of the Germanic language family and represents a basic human experience, that of encountering others.
