Etymology

From Middle High German bīvuoz, bībōz, from Old High German pīpōz, bībōz, bīvōz, bīvūz, probably from bī- +‎ bōzan (to push, to strike), from Proto-Germanic *bautaną. The semantic development remains unclear. The v-form with folk-etymological adaptation to vuoz (foot) is attested since the 10th century, apparently at first in West Central German, where the development is indeed phonetically likeliest. Compare the same in Old Saxon bīvōt, Middle Dutch bīvoet, whence Dutch bijvoet.
