Etymology

The origin is uncertain. Has been compared to Proto-Slavic *bedro (thigh) and derived from Proto-Indo-European *bod-ro-, from *bed- (to swell (?)), but the meanings do not match.[1][2][3][4]

Probably connected with Aramaic פרת (prt), פרתא (prtʾ, navel),[5] which is possibly from the root פ־ר־ת (p-r-t, to pierce; to split).[6]
