▪ I. budge, n.1|bʌdʒ| Forms: 4 bugee, -eye, 5 boge, bogey, 6 bogy, bug(g)e, buggye, Sc. buge, 7 budg, 9 boodge, 6– budge. [Etymology obscure; usually identified with budge n.3, bouge n.1, a leather bag; but the connexion of sense is not clear, and most of the early forms seem to indicate a dissyllabic etymon. If the original sense were ‘kid-skin with the hair’ (see quot. 1616), the OF. bouchet, bochet a kid, might be thought of; cf. ‘budge of court’ from F. bouche under bouge n.2] 1. A kind of fur, consisting of lamb's skin with the wool dressed outwards.
