Definition bad
Etymology 1
From Middle English bad, badde (�wicked, evil, depraved�), of uncertain origin. Perhaps a shortening of Old English b�ddel (�hermaphrodite�) (for loss of -el compare Middle English muche from Old English my?el, and Middle English wenche from Old English wen?el), from b�dan (�to defile�), from Proto-Germanic *bad- (compare Old High German pad (�hermaphrodite�)). Alternatively, a loan from Old Norse into Middle English, compare Norwegian bad (�effort, trouble, fear�, neuter noun), East Danish bad (�damage, destruction, fight�, neuter noun), from the Proto-Germanic noun *bada- (Kroonen, Etymological Dictionary of Proto-Germanic, s.v. *bad?jan-).
