With senses 4 and 5 compare bank n.1 and the discussion at bench n. In sense 6 perhaps originally an alteration or reinterpretation of bike n.1 N.E.D. (1887) included as sense 6 ‘a receptacle; a bin’ with a 1534 example, but this is better taken as a variant of bing n.1 Chiefly Scottish and English regional ( northern) in later use. society > inhabiting and dwelling > inhabited place > a building > furniture and fittings > seat > bench > [noun] α. c1175 (Burchfield transcript) l. 15231 Wiþþ þrinne bennkess bennkedd. a1400 (a1325) (Fairf. 14) l. 5058 And on benke sete ham by. a1450 (1885) 227 I schall buske to þe benke Wher baneres are bright. a1500 (a1400) (Chetham) (1889) l. 4036 (MED) To supper þey went after that, Her leff be her on the benke sat. a1522 G.
