Etymology of BEAZER

The word "beazer" has a somewhat complex etymology. It originally comes from the Old French word "beçois" or "bezoar", which referred to a type of hard, solid mass found in the stomach or intestines of certain animals (usually goats or cows). These masses were believed to have medicinal properties and were used in various remedies. The word "bezoar" itself can be traced back to the Arabic word "bazahr", which means "antidote".

Over time, the term "bezoar" or "bezoardic stone" was also used to describe the hard excrement or indigestible substances occasionally found in the intestines of animals. This later evolved to specifically refer to the feces of rabbits or hares. In certain contexts, "bezer" or "beazer" was used to describe a digestive or intestinal obstruction in animals.
