Alternative forms

Etymology

From Old Galician-Portuguese entre, from Latin inter.

The alternative form ontre, rare in Old Portuguese proper but well attested in Old Galician (Cantigas de Santa Maria), and rendered as unter in local Medieval Latin, derives probably[1] from Suevic [Term?], from Proto-Germanic *under: compare Old High German unter (among, between).

entre among themselves
entre mismo y sus amigosbetween himself and his friends
