Possibly from a Gaulish root from Proto-Indo-European *bʰedʰ- (“to stab, dig”), or possibly from a Proto-Indo-European *bʰew- (“to hit, strike, beat”). Doublet of battalia and battel. Displaced native Old English ġefeoht, beado, camp, and wīg (“battle”), among others.",

Possibly from a Gaulish root from Proto-Indo-European *bʰedʰ- (“to stab, dig”), or possibly from a Proto-Indo-European *bʰew- (“to hit, strike, beat”). Doublet of battalia and battel. Displaced native Old English ġefeoht, beado, camp, and wīg (“battle”), among others.",
