Etymologies (2)

Toggle American Heritage etymologies American Heritage Dictionary (1)

  1. bil-, probably of Scandinavian origin; see bhel-2 in Indo-European roots + berry.

Toggle Century etymologies Century Dictionary (1)

  1. Formerly also spelled bill-berry and bull-berry. The last form, if not simulated, is prob. right, from bull + berry. Another species, the red whortleberry, is named cowberry, and the New Latin name of the genus, Vaccinium, means ‘cowberry.’ The word bull enters into the names of several other plants, as bullweed, bullwort, bulrush. Cf. hartberry, another name for bilberry. But the relation of the equivalent Danish böllebær, also simply bölle, whortleberry, to Danish böll, a castrated bull (cf. Icelandic boli = Norwegian bol = English bull), is not clear. The usual Danish term for bull is tyr = Swedish tjur = Icelandic stjōrr = English steer. The name blaeberry is of different origin: see blaeberry.
