Etymology

1. From ess- (“out of”) + Class B third-person singular neuter infixed pronoun d- (“it”) + Proto-Celtic *balnīti, from Proto-Indo-European *gʷelH- (“throw”). Thus literally ‘throw it’, originally either a euphemism or slang.
2. The preterite forms in at·bath- and the verbal noun apthu are from ess- + d- + original preterite passive form of baïd (“to die”), from Proto-Celtic *bayeti, from Proto-Indo-European *gʷeh₂- (“tread”) (via a euphemistic meaning similar to pass away).
3. Compare Middle Welsh aballu (“die, perish”) (from *ad-balni-), Ancient Greek βάλλω (bállō, “throw”), Old English cwelan (“die”), Old Armenian կեղեմ (kełem, “torment, torture”), Lithuanian gėlà (“pain”)), compare Old Armenian կամ (kam, “to stand”), Latvian gāja (“went”). See: Greek, Ancient 'βάλλω', Old English 'cwelan', Classical Armenian 'կեղեմ'.
