Conflated early on with Proto-Germanic *bilją and its descendants (German Bille). (Kluge mentioned that, in his day, a relationship to Bicke / Middle High German bicke (“pickaxe”) — compare Old English becca (“pickaxe”) — could not be ruled out.)

From Middle High German bischof, from Old High German biscof, from Proto-West Germanic *biskop, from Latin episcopus. The -f- is due to the High German consonant shift as evidenced by the Old High German attestations. However, in Middle High German it irregularly developed into -v- (thus predominantly bischoves rather than bischoffes). This has been ascribed to renewed Romance influence; compare Italian vescovo.

Since ca. 1400, at first as degen, but also dege, dägen, tägen. Usually derived from Middle French dague, but the origin of the e-vocalism is unclear. An eastern dialectal *degue is possible, but apparently unattested, whereas Czech dýka is considered a borrowing from German. See French dague and Italian daga for more. Probably also related with the family of English dagger.
From the 17th century, the sense “dagger” is restricted to Dolch, while Degen comes to refer to longer weapons, especially thrust-oriented dueling swords. By the 18th century it was used of any sword worn as part of a uniform.

inh

Der, nach dem Schauspiel, hofft ein Kartenspiel, / Der eine wilde Nacht an einer Dirne Busen.

1808, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, “Vorspiel auf dem Theater”, in Faust: Der Tragödie erster Teil [Faust, Part One]:

One, after the play, hopes for a card game / another, for a wild night on the bosom of a harlot.

Das Glück ist eine leichte Dirne, / Und weilt nicht gern am selben Ort; / Sie streicht das Haar dir von der Stirne / Und küßt dich rasch und flattert fort.

1851, Heinrich Heine, Romanzero, Hamburg: Hoffmann und Campe, Zweites Buch: Lamentationen, page 118:

Luck is an easy girl / And does not like to linger in a place; / She wipes your hair from your brow / And kisses you swiftly and flutters away.

Grütze (accusative singular)
Grützen (accusative definite plural)

From Middle High German grütze, from Old High German gruzzi (“coarse grains”), of the same root as Proto-Germanic *greutą = English grit, German Grieß.
The term is applied to “ground” fruit because older desserts such as rote Grütze originally included cereal grains, and preserved the name despite substituting starch for the cereal grains; more recent dishes (e.g. gelbe Grütze) are named by analogy to the older dishes. For the “shrewdness“ sense a contamination by Early New High German Kritz cannot be excluded, that apart from being an instance noun to complement today’s kritzeln also meant “wit”.

inh

a food of coarsely ground cereal grains: groat(s)

rote Grütze = a fruit pudding containing chunks of red fruits (e.g. redcurrants and raspberries)

coarse "grains" or bits of fruit, or a dish made from these

Ihr habt nur kommunistische Grütze in der roten Rübe!

From Middle High German hulfter (“saddlecloth; quiver”) alongside hulft, hulst, from Old High German hulft, hulst (“saddlecloth”, also hulfter, but in a copy from the 14th c.). Further origin uncertain. In view of Old Saxon hulist, Middle Low German holster, Gothic 𐌷𐌿𐌻𐌹𐍃𐍄𐍂 (hulistr), all (also) “cloth” or “saddlecloth”, some relation with these words (Proto-Germanic *hulistrą) seems very likely. It is unclear, however, whether this relation is original or secondary. The modern -a- is from interaction with etymology 1, probably reinforced by dialectal (near-)mergers before dark -l-.

Hermelin (dative singular)
Hermelinen (dative definite plural)
Hermelin (accusative singular)
Hermeline (accusative definite plural)

From Middle High German hermelīn, from Old High German harmilī, diminutive of harmo (“ermine”), from Proto-Germanic *harmô. Cognates outside Germanic only in Latvian sermulis and Lithuanian šarmuõ, šermuõ.
The monophthong -i- in modern German (alongside obsolete Hermlein, Hermelein) as well as the final stress can be explained natively, as being from a non-diphthongising dialect on the one hand, and by comparing the irregular stress shift in such words as Holunder, Wacholder, lebendig on the other. However, it seems likely that both developments were reinforced by Romance words such as Italian ermellino, armellino, French hermine. The origin of these latter is contested; they are either borrowed from Germanic or go back to an unrelated Medieval Latin Armenius mūs (literally “Armenian mouse”).

Hürde (accusative singular)
Hürden (accusative definite plural)

From Middle High German hurt (genitive hürde), from Old High German hurt (“wickerwork”). The modern form is generalized from the Middle High German inflected forms. The consonantism -d- is already normal in written Middle High German, thus due to irregular re-voicing. The expected form hürte is, however, quite common in early modern German; -d- prevails, possibly under the re-inforcing influence of Low German (compare Middle Low German hurde).

Geht es schief, wäre es nicht das erste Mal, dass die Flensburger Verwaltung ein Großprojekt plant, ohne alle rechtlichen und formalen Hürden aus dem Weg zu räumen[…]

From German Low German [Term?]. Obviously related to Imme (“bee”). There are two theories concerning the details of the development:
# From Middle Low German immenkar (“beehive”), which is a compound with Middle Low German kar (“basket”). The component -ker < -kar would then have been secondarily associated with the Low German suffix -ker for occupations (compare Böttcher).
# Directly derived from Imme with the mentioned suffix. Cognate with Dutch imker.
Either way, ultimately from Proto-West Germanic *imbjakaʀjō.

Kegels (genitive singular)
Kegel (definite genitive plural)
Kegel (dative singular)
Kegeln (dative definite plural)
Kegel (accusative singular)
Kegel (accusative definite plural)

From Middle High German kegel, from Old High German chegil, kegil (“peg”), especially pegs for a tent (zeltchegil) or similar. Middle High German kegel means “peg or pin used for a game” (such as skittles), but regional use from the 14th century onward also preserve a more general meaning of “peg, cudgel”.
The etymology cannot be traced with certainty. The word is a member of a Wortsippe which also includes Keil (“wedge”), German Kugel (“ball, sphere”) and Kiel (“keel”).
No cognates of Kegel are known outside of German (other than loans from German in Dutch, Scandinavian as well as Baltic and Slavic languages). French quille seems to be a reflex of an Old Frankish form of the word. Proto-Slavic *žezlъ (“stick, staff, rod”) has diverse proposed origins.
The German word Keil (“wedge”) is closely related, compared by Grimm to the relationship of Latin cuneus (“wedge”) with cōnus (“cone”). In some dialects, Keil was used as the term for both “wedge” and “bowling pin”.
Also closely related is Kugel (“ball, sphere”). All these terms developed in context of the game of skittles. The relation of Keil to Kegel (both terms for the pin) was the same as that of Kaule to Kugel (both terms for the ball; the former remained dialectal, while Kugel became the generic term for "sphere").
For the development of the sense of an illegitimate son compare German Bengel, Flegel, Balg and the like.

From Middle High German kruoc, from Old High German kruog, from Proto-West Germanic *krōgu, from Proto-Germanic *krōguz.

Erst jetzt, berichtet Herr A., erkannte ich an Schnauze und Schnalle, die allein vorragten, sowie an diesem Kniffe den Fuchs. Das Gewehr im Anschlage wartete ich, da ein Abfeuern auf den blossen Kopf bei einer Entfernung von 60 – 70 Schritten zu tollkühn schien, bis es Herrn Reinecke gefallen würde, vorzutreten und die ganze Breitseite zu zeigen; und wartete wol einige Zeit, als auf einmal auch Kopf und Schweif verschwunden waren.

1879 January 9, P. Vinc. Gredler, “Kleine Erzählungen aus dem Thierleben. Fortsetzung”, in Der Zoologische Garten, volume 20, number 9, page 286:

Only now, relates Mr. A., I recognized the fox by snout and vulva which were protruding alone, and via this grip. The rifle in firing position, I waited, since firing at the mere head in a distance of 60—70 steps seemed too foolhardy, until it would list Mr. Reynard to step forward and shew his whole broadside; so I waited peradventure some time, until at once head and tail vanished, likewise.

From a Low German merger of two unrelated adjectives: (1.) Old Saxon therbi (“unleavened”), from Proto-Germanic *þerbaz;
and (2.) Old Saxon derbi (“coarse, warlike”). Both regularly collapsed in Middle Low German derve (“firm, bold”). Older High German had only the former of the two adjectives and lacked the other: Middle High German derp (“unleavened”), from Old High German derb (“unleavened”). The modern word is formally High German, but its semantic development has been determined by the Middle Low German one. (The original sense “unleavened” is last met with in the 18th century.)

(lexicography, literature, sociography) pertaining to a manner of intercourse that is wittingly aggressive, purposefully unrefined – cocky, cheeky, flippant, brazen
