[West Germanic: OE. bísmer, -or (str. neut.), identical with OHG. bísmer ‘ridicule,’ f. bí, by (in its strong or accented form) + -smer, which Schmeller connects with MHG. smier a smile, laughing, smieren to smile. Others have compared OHG. smero, OE. smeoru, OTeut. *smerwo-(m, ‘fat, grease, butter,’ which seems, on phonetic as well as other grounds, less probable.]
