Adjective

IPA: /ˈbɛdˌlau̯ər(ə)/, /ˈbɛdˌlau̯r(ə)/, /ˈbɛdlər(ə)/ Forms: bedlaure [alternative], bedlawyr [alternative], bedlare [alternative]
Etymology: From bed (“bed”) + *law(e) + -ere (agent noun suffix). Multiple theories exist regarding the origin of *law(e): * Derivation from Old English lǣw (“injury”) or -lǣwe (“having an injury”); however, the putative *beddlǣw or *beddlǣwe would be contrary to the pattern of other formations with lǣw, -lǣwe, where the first element denotes either the injury or its source; compare Middle English dronkelewe (“habitually drunk”), thirstlewe (“thirsty”). * Borrowing from an unattested "laying" sense of Old Norse lag (“layer, deposit”); compare English bedlayer, bedlier (“bedridden person”) and Middle High German betteligeric (modern German bettlägerig) for the formation.
