Unnumbered source etymology
Original entry ↗An edge that is canted, one that is not a 90-degree angle; a chamfer. · An instrument consisting of two rules or arms, jointed together at one end, and opening to any angle, for adjusting the surfaces of work to the same or a given inclination; a bevel square. · A die used for cheating, having some sides slightly rounded instead of flat.
Having the slant of a bevel; slanting. · Morally distorted; not upright.
To give a canted edge to a surface; to chamfer.
From Middle English *bevel, from Anglo-Norman *baivel (whence obsolete French beauveau) a diminutive of Old French baïf (“open-mouthed”), perhaps from baer (“to gape”), from Medieval Latin *batāre (“to gape, yawn, be open”), probably of imitative origin. If so, then related to Italian badare.
