גט

Probably from Akkadian 𒁍𒁕 (gídda /⁠giṭṭu⁠/, “document or deed written on parchment”), from Sumerian 𒁍𒁕 (gid₂-da, “length”), from Sumerian 𒁍 (gid₂, “to drag, to draw up a document”). Compare Classical Syriac ܓܛܐ (geṭṭā, “will, testament, document”), in other Aramaic dialects, a narrowed sense of "writ of divorce" is attested.
