Этимология

() From Middle English forbise, forbisen (vb.), from earlier forbisenen (vb.), from forbisen (“example”, noun), from Old English forebȳsen (“example”), from fore- + bȳsen (“model, exemplar, pattern, parable, command”), from Proto-Germanic *būsniz (“command, precept”), from Proto-Germanic base *beudanan (“to ask, beg”), from Proto-Indo-European *bheudh- (“to be awake, perceive fully”). Cognate with Old Saxon am-busan (“a command, precept”), Gothic (ana-busns, “a command”), Old Norse bȳsn (“wonder, premonition”). More at bid.
