Nguồn gốc từ

From Middle English buket, boket, partly from Old English bucc ("bucket, pitcher"; mod. dialectal buck), equivalent to bouk + -et; and partly from buket, buquet (tub; pail) (compare boutchet, bouquet), diminutive of Old French buc (abdomen; object with a cavity), from *būcus (compare and buc, buco, buca (hole, gap)), from *būk (belly, stomach).
