Fréquence
Prononcé comme (IPA)
/ˈbɛt/
Étymologie (Anglais)
From 16th-century criminal slang, likely from abet or Old English bætan (“to make better”); or from Old French abeter (“to entice”), from a- (“to”) + beter (“hound on, urge, to bait”); but in either case ultimately from Proto-Germanic. More at abet.
