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).

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.
