Etymology
1. From Middle High German biderbe (also bederbe and shortened bider), from Old High German biderbi, piderpi, pidarpi, cognate with Bedarf.
2. The derogatory sense arises in the 19th century. The compound Biedermann in origin means "brave, honest or capable man", but today has a meaning of "boring person, petty bourgeios".
