[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Proto-Baltic *bádīˀtei (“to pierce, stab”), from the o-grade *bʰodʰ- of Proto-Indo-European *bʰedʰh₂- (“to dig; to pierce”) (whence also bēda). The original meaning was probably “that which stings (one's body),” from which “hunger”; cf. related Sanskrit बाधः (bādhaḥ, “difficulty, obstacle”). Cognates include dialectal Lithuanian bãdas.[1][2]
