72. According to Heiner Gillmeister, a
European language expert of Bonn
University, this game derives its
name from the Middle Dutch met de
sen (i.e., "with the stick
chase"), which also suggests a Dutch
connection in the sport‟s origin. It is
more likely that the terminology of
the sport was based on words in use
in south-east England at the time
and, given trade connections with
the County of Flanders, especially in
the 15th century when it belonged to
the Duchy of Burgundy, many
Middle Dutch words found their way
into southern English dialects.
