/ˈbaf(ə)l/

Forms: 1500s baffull, 1500s–1800s baffle, 1600s baffol, baffoul, bafful, baffil(l, baffel, bafle.

Etymology: Etymology, and even immediate source, uncertain. Quoted in 1548 as Scotch, and in 1570 used by a Scotchman. Hence, naturally to be compared with Scots bauchle , found in senses 1 – 3, from a century earlier, but itself of uncertain derivation. On the other hand we have French beffler (Cotgrave) ‘to deceive, mocke, or gull with faire words,’ etc. (compare sense 4), and bafouer, in Cotgrave baffoüer, ‘to hoodwinke; to deceive; to besmeare; also to baffle, abuse, reuile, disgrace, handle basely in tearmes, give reproachfull words of or vnto.’ Of these, beffler (in Rabelais 1533–53) is easily referred to Old French befe, beffe mockery, beffer to mock, beferie quibbling, deceit, = Italian beffa, Spanish befa, Old Spanish bafa, Provençal bafa, mockery, banter, Italian beffare, Spanish befar, Provençal bafar, to mock, deride (which M. Paul Meyer would derive < Provençal baf! interjection expressing disdain), with which words also (though less securely) Diez and others connect bafouer, cited first from Montaigne, 1588–92. It is possible that two or even three distinct words are confused under baffle.

I. To disgrace. [Compare Scots bauchle v.French bafouer.]

†1. To subject to public disgrace or infamy; spec. to disgrace a perjured knight with infamy. Obsolete.

Etymology: Etymology, and even immediate source, uncertain. Quoted in 1548 as Scotch, and in 1570 used by a Scotchman. Hence, naturally to be compared with Scots bauchle , found in senses 1 – 3, from a century earlier, but itself of uncertain derivation. On the other hand we have French beffler (Cotgrave) ‘to deceive, mocke, or gull with faire words,’ etc. (compare sense 4), and bafouer, in Cotgrave baffoüer, ‘to hoodwinke; to deceive; to besmeare; also to baffle, abuse, reuile, disgrace, handle basely in tearmes, give reproachfull words of or vnto.’ Of these, beffler (in Rabelais 1533–53) is easily referred to Old French befe, beffe mockery, beffer to mock, beferie quibbling, deceit, = Italian beffa, Spanish befa, Old Spanish bafa, Provençal bafa, mockery, banter, Italian beffare, Spanish befar, Provençal bafar, to mock, deride (which M. Paul Meyer would derive < Provençal baf! interjection expressing disdain), with which words also (though less securely) Diez and others connect bafouer, cited first from Montaigne, 1588–92. It is possible that two or even three distinct words are confused under baffle. I. To disgrace. [Compare Scots bauchle v.French bafouer.] †1.
