Definition busy
Etymology
From Middle English bisy, busie, from Old English bysi?, *biesi?, bisi? (“busy, occupied, diligent”), from Proto-Germanic *bisigaz (“diligent; zealous; busy”). Cognate with Saterland Frisian biesich (“active, diligent, hard-working, industrious”), Dutch bezig (“busy”), Low German besig (“busy”), Old Frisian bisgia (“to use”), Old English bisgian (“to occupy, employ, trouble, afflict”). The spelling with ?u? represents the pronunciation of the West Midland and Southern dialects while the Modern English pronunciation with /?/ is from the dialects of the East Midlands.
