Etymology

From Middle High German mast, from Old High German mast, from Proto-West Germanic *mast, from Proto-Germanic *mastaz, from Proto-Indo-European *mad(z)do-. Related to *matiz (“food”).

The expected form is the dated variant above; the vowel was probably re-shortened by analogy with the verb mäschten.
