{{also|Bastard}}
==English==

===Etymology===
[[File:Wyllelm bastard.jpg|right|thumb|220px|'ƿyllelm bastard' in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, 1066]]
From {{inh|en|enm|bastard}}, {{m|enm|bastarde}}, from {{der|en|xno|bastard}}, {{cog|fro|bastart|t=illegitimate child}}, perhaps via {{der|en|ML.|bastardus}}, of {{unk|en|title=obscure}} origin.

Possibly from {{der|en|frk|*bāst|t=marriage, relationship}} + {{m+|fro|-ard}}, {{m|fro|-art|pos=pejorative suffix denoting a specific quality or condition}}. Frankish ''*bāst'' derives from a [[w:North Sea Germanic|North Sea Germanic]] variety of {{der|en|gem-pro|*banstuz|t=bond, connection, relationship, marriage with a second woman of lower status}}, from {{der|en|ine-pro|*bʰendʰ-|t=to tie, bind}} and is related to {{cog|fy|boaste|t=marriage, matrimony}}, {{cog|dum|bast|t=lust, heat}}, and more distantly to {{cog|en|boose|t=cow-stall}}. The term probably originally referred to a child from a [[polygynous]] marriage of [[heathen]] Germanic custom — a practice not sanctioned by the Christian churches.

Alternatively, Old French ''bastart'' may have originated from the Old French term {{m|fro|fils de bast|t=[[packsaddle]] son}}, meaning a child conceived on an improvised bed (medieval saddles often doubled as beds while travelling). However chronology makes this difficult, as ''bastard'' is attested in Old French from 1089 (Middle Latin ''bastardus'' as early as 1010), yet Old French ''bast'' (modern {{cog|fr|bât}}), though attested since 1130 with the meaning of "beast of burden", doesn't acquire the specific meaning of "packsaddle" until the 13c., making it too late to have given rise to the terms ''bastard'' and ''bastardus'' with this sense. The French ''Centre National de Ressources Textuelles et Lexicales'' supports the Germanic theory further above as being most likely.<ref>{{R:fr:TLFi|bâtard|etym=1}}</ref>

====Usage notes====
* {{sense|one born to unmarried parents}} Not always regarded as a stigma (though it is one in e.g. canon law, prohibitive for clerical office without papal [[indult]]): Norman duke William, the Conqueror of England, is referred to in state documents as "William the Bastard"; a Burgundian prince was even officially styled Great Bastard of Burgundy.
* {{sense|male friend}} "Bastard" used as a term of endearment is particularly characteristic of Australian English usage. See [[Appendix:Australian English terms for people]] for more.
