Etymology
From Proto-Baltic *baid-, from Proto-Indo-European *bʰoyd-, the o grade of *bʰey-, *bʰī- “to hit, to pierce” with an extra d. (Synonym biedēt comes from the e grade form *bʰeyd-, i.e. etymologically biedēt and baidīt are parallel forms of the same stem.) Cognates include Lithuanian baidýti, baidi̇̀nti “to scare, to frighten” (for cognates from other forms of this stem, see biedēt).
