Etymology
(This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.)
Noun
bil
Etymology
From Old Norse bil, from Proto-Germanic *bilą, of uncertain origin, though probably with original sense "giving way, failure" and related to dialectal Dutch beelen (“to repent a deal”). Related to *bilōn- (“to give way”); compare also *biliþī (“likeness, evenness”) and *bibāną (“to shiver, tremble”), the latter which Kroonen suspects is connected.[1] A relation to Proto-Indo-European *bʰeyd- (“to split”) is particularly attractive semantically, though phonetically difficult to resolve.[2]
Pronunciation
Noun
bil n (genitive singular bils, nominative plural bil)
- space, interval
- period of time, moment, space
- (computing) space
- damage, wound, nick
- (archaic) hesitation, break (in some action, process, etc.)
