Borrowed from Latin belluīnus, an alternative spelling of bēluīnus (“animal, bestial; brutal”) (whence the English beluine) + -ine (“suffix meaning ‘of or pertaining to’”). Bēluīnus is derived from bēlua (“(wild) beast; monster; brute”) + -īnus (“suffix meaning ‘of or pertaining to’”) (from Proto-Indo-European *-iHnos (“suffix forming adjectives”)).
