Nguồn gốc từ

From French billard with the insertion of the second i and orthographic representation of the French palatalized /j/ sound, originally referring to the wooden cue stick, diminutive of Old French bille (log, tree trunk), from *bilia, probably of - origin (compare bile), from tree, from leaf, from *bʰleh₃- (blossom, flower).
