Etymology

[edit]

Likely from Proto-Indo-European *bʰel- (henbane) + -ix, a suffix akin to -ex found in other plant names (compare cārex (sedge), rumex (sorrel)). De Vaan posits that -ix is early, not a result of vowel assimilation at the Latin stage. Cognate to Welsh bele, Russian белена́ (belená), Czech blín, Middle Dutch bilse, Old English belene, German Bilsenkraut all meaning "henbane".
