/beɪð//beɪð/

The word "bathe" has its roots in Old English. It comes from the word "bæasan," which is derived from the Proto-Germanic word "*bathiz." This word is thought to have been imitative of the sound of running water, and it referred to washing or bathing. In Old English, "bæasan" was used to describe the act of washing or cleaning oneself, and it was often used in combination with other words such as "word" (water) and "tun" (to create a word like "BootApplication," meaning to wash in water). During the Middle English period, the spelling of the word changed to "bathen" or "baþen," and it retained its meaning of washing or bathing. Today, the word "bathe" is used in many languages to describe the act ofimmerging oneself in water or taking a shower or bath.
