Etymology
1. Inherited from Old English besma, from Proto-West Germanic *besmō.
2. Many modern dialects reflect /i/ or (with open-syllable lengthening) /eː/ rather than the /ɛ/ that would be expected from Old English -e-, presumably continuing the Old English collateral form bisme. See: Old English Nouns '
besma', Old English Nouns '
besma'.
