Icelandic[edit]

Etymology 1[edit]

From Old Norse bót, from Proto-Germanic *bōtō (recompense).

Cognates include Old Swedish bōt (improvement) whence Swedish bot (fine). Compare also Bót- in the names Bótey, Bóthildur and Bótólfur, Swedish Boel and Bodil and Danish Bodil. Related to Proto-Germanic *batiz (good; better), itself ultimately going back to Proto-Indo-European *bʰed- (improve, make better) (sometimes reconstructed as **bʰ(e)Hd-).
