Etymology
Inherited from Middle French biche, from Old French biche (“doe, female deer”) and bisse (“wild animal”), of uncertain origin and relation. The form bisse is almost certainly from Vulgar Latin bīstia, variant of Latin bēstia (compare bête); however, the contemporary biche is an enigma, and possibly unrelated. It may be the Picard or Norman form of bisse, (compare chent for cent) or may share origin with Middle French bique (“nanny-goat”), believed to be derived from Frankish *bik (“goat”) or perhaps related to Icelandic bikkja (“old mare, nag”). More at bouc. See: Latin Nouns '
bēstia', Icelandic Nouns '
bikkja'.
