Etymology 1
urediFrom Middle Dutch dat, which was contracted to 't in usual speech. This form was later interpreted as being the same as the neuter pronoun het (etymology 2, see below), which was contracted in the same way. This then led to the modern form/spelling het, which some might see as being unetymological.

Usage notes
uredi- This pronoun can combine with a preposition to form a pronominal adverb. When this occurs, it is changed into its adverbial/locative counterpart er. See also Category:Dutch pronominal adverbs.
- In a double-object construction with another pronoun, het is generally the direct object but precedes the other pronoun: Geef het hem terug! (“Give it back to him!”). Compare regional English Give it him back!. This is different from other neuter pronouns, which usually follow the indirect object: Geef hem dat terug! (“Give that back to him!”)
