+ ==Forms==

+ '''beteiligen''' (third-person singular present beteiligt, past tense beteiligte, past participle beteiligt, auxiliary haben)^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is a derivative of [[Teil]] with the prefix [[be-]] and the suffix [[-ig]], formed in the 19th century in Upper German in place of the older verb [[beteilen]] “to give a share”.^(Duden 7 2020)^(Duden GWDS 1999)^(Wiktionary DE) A similar verb is [[gml|bedêiligen]].^(DWB2|4, 1109)

+

+ The noun is [[goh|teil]], from [[gem-pro|*dailiz|t=part]], which is also [[got|𐌳𐌰𐌹𐌻𐍃|tr=dails]] and [[ang|dǣl]].^(Kluge 2011|911)^(Pfeifer 1993) Its further origin is uncertain.^(Kluge 2011|911)^(Duden 7 2020)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ Campe's dictionary (1807) records ''betheiligt'' and still labels the verb regional and technical.^(DWB2|4, 1109)^(Paul 2002)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ In the 19th century the verb spread in two uses: reflexive ''sich an etwas beteiligen'' “to take part in something”, and transitive ''jemanden an etwas beteiligen'', especially in business, “to give someone a share in the profit”.^(Paul 2002)^(DWB2|4, 1109) The participle ''beteiligt'' “involved” is common, and Goethe uses it in 1819 of the courts concerned in an affair.^(DWB2|4, 1109) ''Unbeteiligt'', found in Gotthelf, often expresses indifference.^(Paul 2002)
