Etymology[edit]
Inherited from Middle French bignet, from Old French bignet (“fried dough enveloping a food substance”), a diminutive of bigne, bugne, buyne (“lump, swelling”), from Frankish *bungjo (“lump, bump, swelling”), from Proto-Germanic *bungô, *bunkô (“lump, heap, crowd”), from Proto-Indo-European *bʰenǵʰ- (“thick, dense, fat”). Cognate with Old High German bungo (“swelling, tuber”) (German Bunge), Dutch bonk (“lump, clump”), Gaulish *bunia, Scottish Gaelic bonnach (“cake, biscuit”). Also related to bun, bunk, bunch, bunion.
