bilgen.

Brit.

/bɪldʒ/, U.S.

/bɪldʒ/

Forms: Also 1600s–1700s bildge, billage.

Etymology: Probably a corruption of bulge n., < Old French boulge = modern French bouge , shown not only by the occurrence of bulge n. and bulch n.¹ as synonyms of bilge n., but also by the fact that bouge in French still means ‘bilge’ both with reference to a cask and to a ship. Billage must be a further corruption, due to the rarity of the ending -lge in English; this form seems in later times to be preferred where the word denotes a measure, from form-association with tonnage, stowage, and other abstract nouns in -age.

a. The bottom of a ship's hull, or that part on either side of the keel which has more a horizontal than a perpendicular direction, and upon which the ship would rest if aground; also the lowest internal part of the hull.
