[edit]Etymology
[edit]Uncertain; multiple theories exist. Possibly from a Vulgar Latin *boiester, from Latin boia (“fetter”) (referring to the gait of the horse). Other proposed etymologies include Vulgar Latin *bovestris, a derivative of Latin bos, bovis; from Latin ambo extra; from a root *ambulester, from ambulō. Alternatively, possibly related to buiac (“crazy”), and influenced by pedestru.[1]
