biet

/bjet/

Where it comes from

Probably from Latin vetus (in which case it is related to bătrân (“old”)), via the extended sense of something old being in a 'poor condition'. Perhaps semantically influenced by Slavic *bědьnъ (“poor”), if not entirely derived from it.

Compare Italian vieto (“old”).
