Etymology
Roger Berger suggests an unattested Latin masculine/feminine accusative *bellātiōrem, comparative of an equally unattested *bellātus (“too beautiful”, though note an attestation of belliātus in Plautus), derived from Latinbellus(“beautiful”). Compare Silver Latinbonātus(“too good, meek”) (attested in Petronius) and its derived neuter comparative *bonātius attested as Old French bonace(“too good, meek”), modern Frenchbonasse, from Latinbonus(“good”), and also Late Latin malātus(“fairly bad”), from Latinmalus(“bad”).
