n.

“receptacle,” Old English binne “basket, manger, crib,” probably from Gaulish, from Old Celtic *benna, akin to Welsh benn “a cart,” especially one with a woven wicker body. The same Celtic word seems to be preserved in Italian benna “dung cart,” French benne “grape-gatherer’s creel,” Dutch benne “large basket,” all from Late Latin benna “cart,” Medieval Latin benna “basket.” Some linguists think there was a Germanic form parallel to the Celtic one.
