Etimologie (Engels)

Geërf van Middle French: beste

Geërf van Old French: beste

Verwante met Italiaans: biscia

In summary

Inherited from Middle French beste, from Old French beste, probably partially borrowed from Classical Latin bēstia (“beast”), or less likely from an alternative Vulgar Latin bēsta (“animal”). Compare biche (probably from Old French bisse, itself from Vulgar Latin bīstia; compare Italian biscia).
