Nguồn gốc từ
From Middle English myteyne, from Old French mitaine (Modern mitaine), of unclear origin; possibly from mite, miste (playful name for cat) + -aine. Alternatively, mitaine may be from mittamo, superlative of mitti (midpoint), from, *midją (middle, center), from. Compare mitana, mitta, mitana, and mitana.
