Etymology
Perhaps from German bei Gott (“by God”), because, when taking an oath, some men, once they said "by God", aimed at the upper lip with the index finger, symbolising forming the cross with the fingers and kissing it. Compare Portuguese bigode and English bigot. See: German Nouns '
Gott', Portuguese Nouns '
bigode', English Nouns '
bigot'.
