Definition debt
Etymology
From Middle English dette, dett, borrowed from Old French dete (French dette), from Medieval Latin d?bita, from Latin d?bitum (“what is owed, a debt, a duty”), neuter of d?bitus, perfect passive participle of d?be? (“I owe”), contraction of *dehibe? (“I have from”), from de (“from”) + habe? (“I have”). Doublet of debit.
The unpronounced "b" in the modern English spelling is a Latinisation from the Latin etymon d?bitum.
