In summary

From Middle High German biȥ, from Old High German biȥ, from Proto-West Germanic *biti, from Proto-Germanic *bitiz, from Proto-Indo-European *bʰeyd- (“to split”). Cognate with Old English bite. In Dutch beet, English bit, this word has been merged with Proto-Germanic *bitô, whence German Bissen. (Modern English bite is a new derivation from the verb.)
