Etymology

From Proto-Indo-European *bʰud-nó-s, from root *bʰewd- (‘to strike, beat), a d-extension of *bʰew- (‘to blow, swell’) (Gordon 2010), with geminate -tt- from Kluge’s Law. Alternatively derived pre-Germanic **bauttaną, an n-extended verbal formation from an Indo-European root meaning ‘strike, beat’ (perhaps *bʰeud-néh₂- / *bʰeu-t-néh₂-, from *bʰewd- ~ *bʰew-t-) with a zero-grade root.
