Definition buy
Etymology
From Middle English byen, biggen, buggen, from Old English byc?an (“to buy, pay for, acquire, redeem, ransom, procure, get done, sell”), from Proto-Germanic *bugjan? (“to buy”), of uncertain origin. Perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *b??g?- (“to bend”), or from Proto-Indo-European *b?eug?- (“to take away, deliver”). Cognate with Scots by (“to buy, purchase”), obsolete Dutch beugen (“to buy”), Old Saxon buggian, buggean (“to buy”), Old Norse byggja (“to procure a wife, lend at interest, let out”), Gothic ?????? (bugjan, “to buy”). The spelling with “u” is from the Southwest, while the pronunciation with /a?/ is from the East Midlands.
