中古英语 bekenen,源自古英语 gebecnian(西撒克逊语 beacnian)“用点头或手势做出哑巴的标志或信号”,源自原始日耳曼语 *bauknjan(也是古撒克逊语 boknian,古高地德语 bouhnen 的来源),源自 PIE 词根 *bha-(1)“发光”(比较 beacon)。相关词汇: Beckoned; beckoning。名词始见于1718年,源自动词。
Middle English bekenen, bikenen, becknien, becknyn, going back to Old English bēcnan, bīcnan, bīcnian, bēacnian "to make a mute gesture to, summon, symbolize, portend, reveal," going back to West Germanic *bauhnjan- or *bauhnōjan- (whence also Old Saxon bōknian "to portend, give as a token," Old High German bouhhanen, bouhnen "to give a sign or token, signify"), weak verb derivatives of *baukn- "sign, signal" — more at beacon >entry 1
