[bas]

Étymologie (Anglais)

From Middle High German baz, from Old High German baz, from Proto-Germanic *batiz (“better”, adverb), comparative of *wela (“well”), whence German wohl. Represents the old adverb form of besser, whose adverbial use developed in Middle High German. Attributive use of bass, in turn, is much more recent and has remained rare.
