Hebrew

Root
ב־ע־ט (b-ʿ-ṭ)

Noun

בַּעֲטָן (ba'atánm

  1. kicker
  2. rebel, dissenter, nonconformist

Yiddish

Etymology 1

The present forms are from Middle High German beten, from Old High German betōn (to pray), while the past participle is that of Middle High German bitten, from Old High German bitten (to request). Cognate with German beten and bitten respectively, which were merged in many German dialects, too. The Yiddish vowel -e- is regular since open-syllable lengthening was regularly blocked before -t-. (German beten is an irregular or regional form, but compare the frequentative betteln with the normal development.) See also English bid.
