French
[edit]Pronunciation
[edit]Etymology 1
[edit]Of uncertain origin: possibly from Late Latin *bifĭlis, *bifīlis (“double wire”), from Latin bĭfīlum, composed of bis (“twice”) + filum (“fiber”). This works semantically, but has phonetic difficulties. Alternatively, of imitative origin *biff (as in puffing out the cheeks), regarding the sense "to mock, deceive," though this sense is attested much later than the one for fabric.
Noun
[edit]biffe f (plural biffes)A sheet with horizontal stripes.
