† bissonadj.

Forms: Also Old English bisene, Old English–Middle English bisne, Middle English bisen, Middle English byson(e, bysom, 1500s bysome, bisme, 1600s beasom, beesome, (northern dialect beesen, beezen.)

Etymology: Old English (Northumbrian) bísene , a difficult word, of doubtful etymology. Comparison with Dutch bij-ziend short-sighted, lit. ‘near-seeing, seeing (close) by,’ has suggested that it was a corruption of bíséonde , < bi- (see be- prefix) + séonde seeing. Another suggestion is that the original form was bíséne , < bí- (see be- prefix) + (ge)síene, -sýne, -séne manifest, conspicuous, visible. See Skeat. The former explanation has various etymological difficulties; the latter appears to fail in the sense, since ‘visible close by’ is not = ‘seeing only close at hand,’ still less = ‘blind.’

Obsolete.

a. Destitute of sight; blind.
