Where this word comes from
From bessi + leyfi. The etymology is not clear, but "bessi" likely means bear (cf. the Icelandic bersi (“bear”)) so the literal meaning would be "to take the permission of a bear" as bears do not ask for permission. Alternatively it may be derived from an unknown story about some man named Bessi.
