Alternative forms
Etymology
According to Postma (1991), it could be from Old Javanese pamgat / pamagat / pamĕgĕt (“a person invested with a high office or rank at court; leader; chief”) as found in the Laguna Copperplate Inscription, or possibly from Old Tagalog.[1] Alternatively, possibly conjugated through pa- + magat or pam- + bagat.[2] Compare Sundanese pameget (“man; mister”), Indonesian pameget (“male; master”), Malay pamegat (“lord; master; mister; sir”). See also Malay megat.
