Latest revision as of 17:38, 28 February 2013 [edit] English Wikipedia [edit] Pronunciation [edit] Etymology 1 From Middle English bold, from Old English bold, blod, bolt, botl ("house, dwelling-place, mansion, hall, castle, temple"), from Proto-Germanic *budlan, *buþlan ("house, dwelling"), from Proto-Indo-European *bheu-, *bhū- ("to grow, wax, swell, live, dwell"). Cognate with Old Frisian bold ("house") (whence North Frisian bol, boel, bøl ("house")), North Frisian bodel, budel ("property, inheritance"), Middle Low German būdel ("property, real estate"). Related to build. [edit] Alternative forms bold (plural bolds) - (obsolete) A dwelling; habitation; building.
[edit] Related terms [edit] Etymology 2 From Middle English bold, bald, beald, from Old English bald, beald ("bold, brave, confident, strong, of good courage, presumptuous, impudent"), from Proto-Germanic *balþaz ("strong, bold"), from Proto-Indo-European *bhel-, *bhlē- ("to bloat, swell, bubble"). Cognate with Dutch boud ("bold, courageous, fearless"), Middle High German balt ("bold") (whence German bald ("soon")), Swedish båld ("bold, dauntless"). Perhaps related to Albanian ballë ("forehead") and Old Prussian balo ("forehead"). For semantic development compare Italian affrontare ("to face, to deal with"), sfrontato ("brave,daring"), both from Latin frons ("forehead").
