[Of obscure origin; presumed to be ultimately indentical with next.
There is nothing to show whether the Eng. word was adopted from Sp. or the Sp. word from Eng., or whether both come from a common source. The 16th c. forms bear some resemblance to the place-names Metternich (Westphalia), and Medernach (Luxemburg), but no evidence of connexion with those places has been found.]
