bádat

See also: bádať, badat, and bådat

Czech

Etymology

From Proto-Slavic *badati, from *bosti. Less likely from *adati via *obadati, so the 'b' comes from the prefix ob-, because the prosthetic 'j' was dropped after prepending the prefix. Then the whole "bádati" was misinterpreted to be the actual verb.
