Spanish
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Diminutive of Old Spanish *boño, akin to Ladino bimuelo, Catalan bunyol (both “fritter, doughnut”). The underlying noun is at hand in Catalan bony (“bulge”). Further origin uncertain. Theories include a Gothic *𐌱𐌿𐌲𐌲𐌾𐍉 (*buggjō, “lump”) or identity with moño (“bun of hair”), itself probably from a pre-Roman substrate of Iberia.
