Etymology

From Medieval Latin bidellus, bedellus, pedellus (hence Italian bidello; also Dutch bedel, German Pedell), of Germanic origin, from Frankish *bidil ("candidate, volunteer"), from Proto-Germanic *bidilaz (“seeker”), from Proto-Germanic *bidjanan (“to ask, beseech”), from Proto-Indo-European *bʰidʰ- (“to command”), merging with Frankish *budil ("herald, beadle"), from Proto-Germanic *budilaz (“herald”), from Proto-Germanic *beudanan (“to present, offer”), from Proto-Indo-European *bʰewdʰ- (“to comprehend, make aware”). Akin to Old High German bitil "candidate", Old High German bittan "to ask", Old High German butil "beadle" (whence German Büttel), Old English bydel "apparitor, messenger, beadle", Old English bēodan "to announce". More at beadle, bid.
