bilewit

Middle English

From a conflation of Old English bilewit (“innocent, simple”) and bilehwīt (“simple, honest, sincere”).

bilewit

From Proto-Germanic *biliwit- (“gentle-minded”), from Proto-Germanic *biliz (“merciful, kind”) (from Proto-Indo-European *bhil- (“decent, good”)) + Proto-Germanic *witją (“mind, wit”) (from Proto-Indo-European *weyd- (“to know”)), equivalent to Old English bile- + witt.
