beadlen.

/ˈbiːd(ə)l/

Forms: Old English bydel, Middle English budel /y/, bedele, Middle English bidell, Middle English bidel, (Scottish badal), Middle English bydelle, beddell, ( betille), 1500s beedle, bedyl(l, 1500s–1600s bedelle, bedle, 1800s beadel, (Scottish beddal); Middle English–1800s bedel, Middle English–1800s bedell, 1600s– beadle.

Etymology: Originally Old English bydel (= Middle Dutch *bödel, Dutch beul, Old High German butil, Middle High German bütel, German büttel) < Old Germanic *budilo-z, derivative of biud-an, in Old English béodan, Old High German biotan to offer, present, deliver, announce, command. Some form of the Germanic was adopted in Romanic: compare Italian bidello, Provençal bedel, Spanish bedel, Old French bedel, French bédeau, medieval Latin bidellus, bedellus; and in Middle English the French form bedel gradually superseded the native bydel. The ordinary modern spelling is beadle, but the archaic forms beadel, bedel, bedell, are in use in specific senses.
