Where this word comes from
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 *biliþi (“likeness, evenness”) and *bibāną (“to shiver, tremble”), the latter which Kroonen suspects is connected. A relation to Proto-Indo-European *bʰeyd- (“to split”) is particularly attractive semantically, though phonetically difficult to resolve.
