Etymology[edit]

From Early Medieval Latin boscus, a 'vulgar' borrowing of Frankish *busk, suffixed with -et (diminutive ending). Not the source of French bosquet, which is a later borrowing, probably from Occitan,[1] albeit cognate morpheme-by-morpheme.

Noun[edit]

boschet oblique singularm (oblique plural boschez or boschetz, nominative singular boschez or boschetz, nominative plural boschet)

  1. wood (area filled with trees)
