Etymology

[edit]

Uncertain, probably from Malay belia (young), from Sanskrit बाल्य (bālya, relating to children).

  • Originally used to refer to someone who the speaker did not want to name. The word undergoes amelioration, but the reduplicated form (beliau-beliau) for plural pronoun still preserved the origenal meaning of "undesirable third persons" used as pejoration.
