French

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]

From Middle French bider (“to trot”), of unknown ultimate origin, +‎ -et. Possibly related to Medieval Italian bidetto (“small horse”),[1] itself probably related to Proto-West Germanic *biti (“bite; horse's bit”);[2] or, possibly from a lost Middle French rabider (“go quickly, violently”), a descendant of Latin rabidus (“furious, fierce”), with loss of the initial prefix.[3]

Modern sense derives from analogy with the straddling of a bidet and the straddling of a small horse.[4]

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /bi.dɛ/
  • Audio (France (Vosges)):(file)

Noun
