Topic Options #208491 - 12/26/12 05:41 AM Re: behoove [Re: Peter Everett] Faldage Carpal Tunnel Registered: 12/01/00 Posts: 13653 OED dates its first citation for behoove in English at 890. This is, I think, a little early for it to be from Old Norse. Maybe gooofy or Nuncle Z could correct or confirm this.
