From Wiktionary, the free dictionary
bestia f (plural bestias)
bestia f (plural besties)
Borrowed from Latin bēstia. Cognate to biscia, which is not borrowed but inherited.
bestia f (plural bestie)
The origin is unknown. A Proto-Indo-European preform *dʰwēstiā has been proposed, from the root *dʰwēs- (“to breathe”) (compare Gothic 𐌳𐌹𐌿𐍃 (dius) from *dʰwes- (“to breathe”); more at English deer), but this is uncertain, since an initial f- would be expected in Latin.
bēstia f (genitive bēstiae); first declension
First-declension noun.
Learned borrowing from Latin bēstia.[1]
