Etymology 1

From Middle English bidden, from Old English biddan (“to ask, demand”), from Proto-Germanic *bidjan? (“to ask”), from Proto-Indo-European *g??ed?-. Conflated with Old English b?odan (“to offer, announce”) (see Etymology 2 below).

Verb

bid (third-person singular simple present bids, present participle bidding, simple past bid or bade or bad, past participle bid or bidden)

1. (transitive) To issue a command; to tell.

   He bade me come in.

   • 1596-97, William Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice, Act II, Scene V:

     Shylock: [...] Why Jessica, I say!

     Launcelot: Why, Jessica!

     Shylock: Who bids thee call? I do not bid thee call.

     Launcelot: Your worship was wont to tell me that I could do nothing without bidding.

2. (transitive) To invite; to summon.

   • 1596-97, William Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice, Act II, Scene V:

     Shylock: I am bid forth to supper, Jessica: / [...] But wherefore should I go? / I am not bid for love; they flatter me;

3. (transitive) To utter a greeting or salutation.
   • 1596-97, William Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice, Act I, Scene III:

     Portia: If I could bid the fifth welcome with so good heart as I / can bid the other four farewell, I should be glad of his / approach; [...]

Usage notes

The inflected forms bade, bad, and bidden are archaic. They remain in marginal use, particularly in greetings, as in “bade farewell”, but uninflected bid is significantly more common, and bidden is especially rare.

When bidden does occur, it is usually in an elevated, ironical, or metaphorical style, e.g "I have bidden farewell to my prospects of promotion."

When bade (spelled bad so rarely that this variant is not mentioned in most dictionaries) is used in formal speech, the pronunciation /bæd/ may be heard. However, when a dated text with the spelling bade is read aloud or recited (e.g. on stage, in school, or in church etc.) the spelling pronunciation /be?d/ is quite usual.
