Derivatives

billetee

/-ˈtiː/ noun

Origin

Late Middle English (originally denoting a short written document): from Anglo-Norman French billette, diminutive of bille (see bill¹). The verb is recorded in the late 16th century, and the noun sense, 'a written order requiring a householder to lodge the bearer, usually a soldier', from the mid 17th century; hence the current meaning.

A billet (from Anglo-Norman French billette, a little bill) was once a short written document. In the mid 17th century, it came to be a ‘written order requiring a householder to lodge the bearer of the billet’; this was usually a soldier, hence the current meaning ‘temporary lodging for a soldier’. The early sense is preserved in the old-fashioned billet-doux, French for ‘sweet letter’. See also billiards
