A great-grandmother or an ancestor in the maternal line.
From Old French besaile, formed from be- (great) plus aile (grandmother); parallel to besaiel, this term specifically referred to maternal ancestry.
It's wild that Old French had distinct words for paternal great-grandparents (besaiel) versus maternal ones (besaile), reflecting how patrilineal societies were obsessed with tracking inheritance through the father's side.
