Bode (n.)

Does bode (n.) maybe come from Middle English bod, from Old English bod (a bidding), from PG *budą? I say this sense there is the sense of "a bid" for the noun. The Middle English dictionary says that the ME bod is a "bidding, (God's) bode". Please read ME Dictionary if there is anything of worth there. Anglish4699 (talk) 21:20, 17 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

It appears that our Noun bode is actually two separate words (etymologies). Senses 1-3 belong to ME bod (command; offer), and #4 is from bod (stop; delay) (short for abod) Leasnam (talk) 21:41, 17 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
...and to answer your question, yes, the senses 1-3 come from OE bod from *budą Leasnam (talk) 21:53, 17 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
