From 'Abgeordneten-' (genitive of 'Abgeordneter', member of parliament) + 'Diät' (allowance). 'Diät' here comes from Latin 'dieta' (a day's wage), not the word for a food diet.

Crucial: 'Diät' here is a false friend; it does not mean food diet. Think of it as the daily allowance ('Diät') for a representative ('Abgeordneter').
