+

+ ==Forms==

+ '''Angebot''' ''n'' (genitive Angebots or Angebotes, plural Angebote)^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is an 18th-century alteration of [[Anbot]], [[inh|gmh|anbot]] (14th century), a noun formed from [[anbieten|t=to offer]].^(Wiktionary)^(Pfeifer 1993)^(DWB2|2, 778) The form with ⟨ge-⟩ arose, Pfeifer suggests, under the influence of [[gebieten]] and [[Gebot]], at a time when the simple noun [[Bot]] was being replaced by the prefixed one.^(Pfeifer 1993)^(Wiktionary) Middle Low German has [[m|gml|anbot]] too, and Dutch [[m|nl|aanbod]].^(Wiktionary)^(DWB|1, 298)

+

+ The verb [[bieten]] is [[gmh|bieten]], [[goh|biotan]], from [[gem-pro|*beudaną|t=to offer, command]], the same word as [[got|𐌰𐌽𐌰𐌱𐌹𐌿𐌳𐌰𐌽|tr=anabiudan|t=to command]], [[non|bjóða]], [[ang|bēodan]] and [[en|bid]].^(Kluge 2011|121)^(Pfeifer 1993) It goes back to [[ine-pro|*bʰewdʰ-|t=to be awake, aware]], as in [[sa|बोधति|tr=bódhati|t=wakes, understands]], [[grc|πεύθομαι|tr=peúthomai|t=I learn]] and [[lt|budėti|t=to be awake]].^(Kluge 2011|121)^(Pfeifer 1993) How the Germanic sense “offer, announce” arose is not clear;^(Kluge 2011|121) Kluge thinks prefixed and particle verbs played a part.^(Kluge 2011|121)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ The form ''Angebot'' is first recorded in 1738, as ''angeboth'' in Hayme's legal dictionary, glossed by Latin ''oblatio mercium vendendarum'', an offer of goods for sale.^(DWB2|2, 934) The older ''anpot'' appears from 1341 for an offer to sell at a price, and in 1457 for a bid at an auction.^(DWB2|2, 778)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ In 1774 Adelung defines ''Angebot'' as the first bid made when something is sold.^(DWB2|2, 934) Kant uses it figuratively, of propositions that reason accepts as a foreign offer.^(DWB|1, 339) From the first half of the 19th century the language of economics often pairs it with its opposite in ''Angebot und Nachfrage'' “supply and demand”.^(Pfeifer 1993) ''Anbot'' was replaced by ''Angebot'' in the 19th century and survives in Austria, where Grillparzer still used it.^(DWB2|2, 778)^(Pfeifer 1993)

+
