Borrowed via Middle Low German matte from Medieval Latin matta, of Semitic origin. Also borrowed to English mat and German Matte.
måtte c (singular definite måtten, plural indefinite måtter)
From Old Norse mega (“must, may”), from Proto-Germanic *maganą, cognate with English may, German mögen. The original infinitive was lost and replaced by the past tense (in analogy with the verbs kunne (“could”), skulle (“should”), and ville (“would”), in which the infinitive and the past tense have become homophonous).
