belly-blind

释义

ˈbelly-blind Sc.
[The meaning and origin of belly here is uncertain: it may possibly = billie ‘fellow, comrade.’ Belly Blind or more commonly Billie Blin' is the name of ‘a serviceable household demon of a decidedly benignant disposition’ in several Scottish ballads: see Child Eng. and Sc. Pop. Ballads I. 67, where the name is discussed and compared with Du. belewitte, Ger. bilwisz, and other Teutonic words of kindred use. But the connexion between these and the sense of belly-blind below is not obvious.]
A blind-folded person; esp. in the game of Blindman's Buff; hence used as a name for that game, also (as in first quot.) for ‘Hide and Seek.’
c1450Henryson Mor. Fab. 77 Thou playes belly blind, Wee seeke all night, but nothing can wee finde.c1510Adv. Luvairs, Sum led is lyk the belly-blind With luve.
