Nguồn gốc từ

From Middle English enbuschen, from Old French enbuscier, anbuchier (whence embusche), from Old French en- + boscus (wood) (whence also bouquet), from *busk (bush), from Proto-Germanic *buskaz (bush, heavy stick). Compare ambuscade. The change to am- from earlier forms in en- is unexplained. More at bush.
