Nguồn gốc từ

The noun is derived from Late Middle English heft (heaviness; something heavy, a weight), from heven (to lift, raise) + -th, by analogy with the development of weft from weven (modern weave), etc. (also compare words like cleft from cleave, and theft from thieve, where the development occurred in Old English or earlier languages). The English word is analysable as heave + -t.
