Romanian

edit

Etymology

edit

Probably from Latin vellere, with a change in conjugation. Traditionally, it was usually thought to be from Slavic bĕliti (to whiten); however, this presents a problem with semantics and there is already another word in Romanian derived from this source, bili, that preserved the original meaning. [1] Compare also Aromanian bilescu.
