Etymology 1

From Middle Dutch hulde (mercy, goodwill, loyalty), from Old Dutch huldi (favour), from Proto-West Germanic *hulþī, from Proto-Germanic *hulþį̄. Derivative of the rare hou (favourable) +‎ -e (abstract noun suffix) preserving the original i-mutation. The Middle Dutch variant houde addopted the vowel of the base adjective. Compare waarde and kou. Cognate with Old English hyldo, Old Saxon huldi and Old German huldi (German Huld).[1]
