The ending “ard” meant being in a specified condition.
Coward- in an easily cowed condition, Dullard- in a dull condition, Drunkard- in a drunk condition, Wizard- in a wise condition

Hazel@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 week ago Bastard is ‘having been conceived on a bast’, old French word for ‘saddle’. I take it to mean something like not having been conceived at home with the usual suspect (the wife) but elsewhere.
