/ˈbɪʃɔf/

Étymologie (Anglais)

From Middle High German bischof, from Old High German biscof, from Proto-West Germanic *biskop, from Latin episcopus. The -f- is due to the High German consonant shift as evidenced by the Old High German attestations. However, in Middle High German it irregularly developed into -v- (thus predominantly bischoves rather than bischoffes). This has been ascribed to renewed Romance influence; compare Italian vescovo.
