† beluan.

Forms:

α. late Middle English–1500s belue, late Middle English bellue.

β. 1500s–1600s belua, 1600s bellua, 1600s belva.

Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from French. Partly a borrowing from Latin. Etymons: French belue; Latin belua.

Etymology: < (i) Middle French belue, bellue (mid 12th cent. in Old French, in Wace) and its etymon (ii) classical Latin belua, bellua beast, wild animal, monster, brute, of uncertain origin.Compare the following passage, which has been interpreted as showing a form of this word (with the manuscript reading bealne emended to *bealue ), but is more likely to show a form of (unrelated) baleen n.: ▸ a1398 J. Trevisa tr. Bartholomaeus Anglicus De Proprietatibus Rerum (BL Add. 27944) (1975) I. xiii. xxvi. 685 Þe whale and balena is al one. And baleyne ben swiþe grete and huge, and ben yclepede bealne [probably read balene; L. sunt balene immense magnitudinis belue] ab emittendo ‘of outecastynge’ and shedynge of watres.., for balyn is to menynge ‘outecastynge’. The following apparently shows an isolated attestation of a related Middle English mare belleu (apparently < Old French marine belue sea monster, in Wace, one of the sources underlying the English text):?a1400 (a1338) R. Mannyng Chron. (Petyt) (1996) i. l. 3746 Monstre Marine men said it hight; and sum men cald it Mare Belleu [a1450 Lamb. Marebellew]. The use with reference to the Antichrist (compare quot. 1643) is not paralleled in Latin. Compare also classical Latin belua multorum capitum , lit. ‘many-headed beast’, used of the people of Rome (Horace Epistles 1. 1. 76: see the many-headed beast (also monster) at many-headed adj.), and sometimes used in English contexts from the 16th cent. with reference to the masses, usually with derogatory implication of a mob or rabble.

Obsolete.

A huge or monstrous creature or beast; spec. a sea monster, a whale.In quot. 1643: spec. ‘the Beast’ of the Apocalypse which is described coming from the sea and represented numerologically by the number 666 (or 616) in Revelation 13.
