Nguồn gốc từ
From Middle English bird, brid, from Old English bridd (chick, fledgling, chicken), of origin (see bridd for more). Originally from a term used of birds that could not fly (chicks, fledglings, chickens) as opposed to the general Old English term for flying birds, fugol (modern fowl). Gradually replaced fowl as the most common term starting in the 14th century.
