Etymology
1. Inherited from Old Norse bót, from Proto-Germanic *bōtō (“recompense”).
2. Cognates include Old Swedish bōt (“improvement”) whence Swedish bot (“fine”). Compare also Bót- in the names Bótey, Bóthildur and Bótólfur, Swedish Boel and Bodil and Danish Bodil. Related to Proto-Germanic *batiz (“good; better”), itself ultimately going back to Proto-Indo-European *bʰed- (“improve, make better”) (sometimes reconstructed as **bʰ(e)Hd-). See: Swedish Nouns '
bot'.
