Proto-Germanic

Etymology

  • Uncertain;[1] possibly from Proto-Indo-European *bʰodʰh₂-yó-m (“dug-out plot of land”), from *bʰedʰh₂- (“to dig, burrow; to pierce, stab”) +‎ *-yóm[2] (the supposed intermediate meaning would be paralleled in Proto-Celtic *bedom (“ditch, grave”) and explain the sense “flowerbed” in West Germanic); or perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *bʰh₁-tó-s (“warm”), from *bʰeh₁- (“to warm”) +‎ *-tós, whence *baþą (“bath”),[1] Dutch betten (“to warm up”).
