Etymologia

Inherited from Old Spanish bello, in turn a borrowing from Old Occitan bel, bell, from Latin bellus. According to Coromines and Pascual, first attested in the early 13th century, but not in the Poem of the Cid nor pre-literary Castilian. Part of the evidence for it being a borrowing is the lack of diphthongization, cf. Old Spanish castiello, amariello. The native Old Spanish terms were bellido and fermoso.
