beinadj.adv.

/biːn/

Forms: Middle English–1600s bene, Middle English–1500s beene, (Scottish) beyne, beine, 1700s–1800s bien, bein, 1800s been.

Etymology: Of unknown derivation: the spellings bein, bien, are merely modern Scottish ways of writing been, the regular representation of Middle English bene; the latter rhymed with words in ē, < Old English é or eo, but no Old English *bén, *béne, *beon is found or etymologically accounted for. The phonetic history shows that the word cannot be connected with Old Norse beinn , to which, in its figurative sense of ‘hospitable,’ some have plausibly referred it; that word duly survives in northern English as bain n.² Others have turned to the Latin bene or French bien well; but it is not intelligible how either of these could have been adopted in English as an adjective, which appears to have been the earlier use of bene.

Obsolete except dialect.

A. adj.

†1. Pleasant, genial, kindly; ‘nice.’ (Latin amœnus, almus, benignus.) Obsolete.
