bastarðr
nafnorðkarlkyn
bastard, appears for the first time as the of William the Conqueror. The etymon is dubious; Grimm suggests a Scandinavian origin; but this is very doubtful; the word never occurs in Scandinavian writers before the time of William, sounds very like a foreign word, is rarely used, and hardly understood by common people in ; neither does it occur in nor ; so that Adam of Bremen says, iste Willelmus quem Franci bastardum vocant; whence the word seems to come from some southern source; the S. ( 1852), and Fl. iii. 463 ; the Holm, spells bastarðr, the basthardr.
2. name of a sword, vii. 297, referring to 1163.3. a kind of cloth, in deeds of the 14th and 15th centuries, 46, 136, ii. 165; the remarks on bæsingr, p. 92, col. 1 at bottom.
