Etymology[edit]

Related to abbagliare (“to dazzle”); see there for more.[1]

An older theory derives the word from Old High German baidan. Related to or influenced by Catalan badar (“to gape, observe”) and French berlue (“distorted vision”).[2]

This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.
Particularly: “Very old source. There's no OHG "baidan", perhaps "beiten" or "beitôn" is meant. Catalan entry disagrees, and even in the source it's only one of two theories.”

Pronunciation[edit]

  • IPA(key): /baʎˈʎo.re/
  • Rhymes: -ore
  • Hyphenation: ba‧glió‧re
