The word "bastard" is said to come from Old French for "child of a packsaddle", being formed from bast (modern bât) = "packsaddle": when muleteers stopped for the night and unpacked their mules, they used the packsaddles as beds, and sometimes a liaison with a local girl or woman would ensue and a child be conceived. The French suffix "-ard" and Italian suffix "-ardo", seen in words such as "coward", was formed in post-Roman times by extracting it from invading Germanic tribesmen's names that ended in -hard or -ward.b - Wikipedia
Just so you wouldn't get all bent out of shape about the "definition."
If you have chlidren outside the bonds of marriage, you sentence them to "bastadry."
