Unnumbered source etymology
Original entry ↗The sloping edge or face on a cutting tool. · The oblique side or face of a cut gem; especially the upper faceted portion of a brilliant (diamond), which projects from its setting. · The rim and flange which encompasses and fastens a jewel or other object, such as the crystal of a watch, in the cavity in which it is set. · A formed external frame or cover affixed to a device for protective or aesthetic purpose
Borrowed from French bisel, a dialectal variant of biseau (“sloping edge”), a variation on bijou (“jewel”), itself from Breton bisou, bizou (“ring worn on the finger”), from biz (“finger”). Unrelated to similar bevel, which is of a different French origin.
