Dutch Etymology
Normally when is prefixed to a verb to make a neuter noun, the resulting noun indicates the action of the verb directly, like, ,  etc. This word doesn't seem to fit into that pattern, so it may well be old. What do you think? —Rua (mew) 12:54, 17 October 2018 (UTC)

WNT has this etymology: "Van Missen, in twee verschillende opvattingen, met het voorv. Ge- in den zin van gedurige herhaling (III, 3)." —Rua (mew) 12:57, 17 October 2018 (UTC)
