+ ==Pronunciation==

+ * /ˈʔantaɪ̯l/^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Forms==

+ '''Anteil''' ''m'' (genitive Anteils or Anteiles, plural Anteile)^(Wiktionary)

+ In older German it was also neuter, and it was spelled ''Antheil''.^(DWB2|3, 6)^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is [[inh|gmh|anteil]], formed [[af|gmh|ane|teil]], beside [[gml|andêil]].^(DWB2|3, 6)^(Köbler MHD)^(Wiktionary)

+

+ [[Teil]] is [[goh|teil]], from [[gem-pro|*dailiz|t=part]], also in [[got|𐌳𐌰𐌹𐌻𐍃|tr=dails]] and [[ang|dǣl]], continued in [[en|deal]] and [[nl|deel]].^(Kluge 2011|911)^(Pfeifer 1993)^(Köbler AHD) Outside Germanic only [[cu|дѣлъ|tr=dělŭ]] matches the form exactly, and it could be a loan from Germanic.^(Kluge 2011|911) [[lt|dalis|alt=dalìs]] lacks the diphthong, and [[grc|δαίομαι|tr=daíomai|t=I divide]] has a different initial.^(Kluge 2011|911) Pfeifer considers a root [[ine-pro|*dā(i)-|t=to divide, cut up]] or a source in a substrate language.^(Pfeifer 1993)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ The word is first recorded in a charter of 1269 about ''ir anteilis des silbirs'' (“her share of the silver”).^(DWB2|3, 6) It began as a legal term for the part of a divided whole that falls to one person, especially a share of an inheritance.^(DWB2|3, 6)^(Paul 2002)^(FWB)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ Paul dates the legal word to 1332, and later usage extended it to a share in a business.^(Paul 2002)^(DWB2|3, 6) In the 18th century it was transferred to the mind, as “interest, sympathy”, probably through the phrase ''Anteil nehmen an'', which corresponds to French ''prendre intérêt à'' and is recorded by Frisch in 1741.^(Paul 2002) Goethe's Werther is chided for taking too warm an interest (''Anteil'') in everything.^(Paul 2002) The derivative ''anteilig'' meant “compassionate” as early as 1387, though today it means “proportional”.^(Paul 2002)
