Welsh
Etymology
From Proto-Celtic *bistlo-: de Vaan notes that the word is only found in Latin (Latin bilis) and Brythonic and does not rule out a substrate borrowing for both; however, it could instead be a derivative of a preform *bid-tli-, from Proto-Indo-European *bʰeyd- (“to split off, bite”), referring to the substance's bitterness. Cognate with Breton bestl.
