Origin

Early 17th century (originally denoting a chicken): of unknown origin; probably influenced by the use of biddy denoting an Irish maidservant, from Biddy, pet form of the given name Bridget.

Old biddy suggests an interfering or annoying elderly woman, but a biddy was originally ‘a chicken’; the origin is unknown. The word was probably influenced by the use of biddy in the US for an Irish maidservant, which arose from the pet form of Bridget, and extended as a general derogatory word for a ‘woman’ in slang use.

Rhymes

diddy, giddy, kiddie, middy, midi
