Nguồn gốc từ

From Middle English heighte, heiȝþe, from Old English hēahþu, hēhþo, hīehþu (height), *hauhiþu, from Proto-Germanic *hauhiþō (compare *hauhaz). Equivalent to high + -t. The regular pronunciation is now obsolete (as with other words in -eight); the modern form developed early on, at first as a variant, by analogy with the underlying adjective.
