köken: From Middle High German blode, from Old High German blōdi, from Proto-Germanic *blauþijaz, *blauþaz (“weak, soft, timid”). Cognate with Old English blēaþ (“gentle, shy, cowardly, timid; slothful, inactive, effeminate”), English blate (“bashful, stupid”) and bloat (“be swollen, be worthless”) and Danish blød (“soft”).
köken: Inherited from Middle French beste, from Old French beste, probably partially borrowed from Classical Latin bēstia (“beast”), or less likely from an alternative Vulgar Latin bēsta (“animal”). Compare biche (probably from Old French bisse, itself from Vulgar Latin bīstia; compare Italian biscia).
aile: abêtir, âge bête, bébête, bêta, bétail, bête à Bon Dieu, bête à manger du foin, bête comme chou, bête comme ses deux pieds, bête comme ses pieds
köken: Uncertain. Theories include derivation from どんくさい (donkusai, “clumsy”), 野(や)菜(さい) (yasai, “vegetables”), or possibly from a misreading (possibly humorous) of 田舎(いなか) (inaka, “countryside, rural area; unrefined”) as 田(だ) (da) + 舎(しゃ) (sha). Attested from the 1970s.
köken: From Old Swedish dāre, from Old Norse dári, Middle Low German dore, from Old Saxon *dōro, from Proto-West Germanic *dauʀō. See also German Tor; Icelandic dári, Danish dåre.
