Nguồn gốc từ

From Middle English biqueste, bequeste (will, testament, bequest), from be- + queste, from Old English *cwist, *cwiss (saying) (compare andcwiss, ġecwis, uncwisse, etc.), from Proto-Germanic *kwissiz (saying), from Proto-Indo-European *gʷet- (to say). Related to andcwiss, uncwisse, bequethen. Not related to quest, which is from Latin. More at quoth, bequeath.
