bevyn.

Brit.

/ˈbɛvi/, U.S.

/ˈbɛvi/

Forms: Middle English bevey, beuye, beue, Middle English–1600s beuy, 1500s beve, ( bevvy), 1500s–1600s beavie, beauie, beuie, bevie, 1600s–1800s beavy, Middle English– bevy.

Etymology: Derivation and early history unknown; Middle English bevey, beue answers in form to Old French bevee, buvee ‘drink, drinking’ (in modern French, a drink of water thickened with meal for beasts). This seems to correspond, with difference of conjugation (bevée < *bevāta), to Italian bevuta ‘drinking-bout, a draught’; compare also beva ‘drink, liquor, potion, drench’ (Baretti) with beva ‘a beavie’ in Florio. To explain the English sense, it has been conjectured that bevy may have passed from the sense of ‘drinking-bout’ to ‘drinking-party,’ and to ‘party’ or ‘company’ generally: but of this there is no known evidence. These old names for companies of men and animals are however very fantastical and far-fetched, as may be seen in the first three works quoted.

1. The proper term for a company of maidens or ladies, of roes, of quails, or of larks.
