Brit.

/ˈbɑːkuː/,

/ˈbakuː/, U.S.

/ˈbɑˌku/

Inflections: Plural unchanged, bakus.

Origin: A borrowing from Japanese. Etymon: Japanese baku.

Etymology: < Japanese baku (14th cent.; 1603 as bacu, macu in Vocabulario da Lingoa de Iapam) < Middle Chinese, where it denotes a kind of animal with an exorcizing function (compare Chinese mò). Both the Japanese and Chinese words were subsequently applied to the tapir, apparently with reference to its elongated nose; in Chinese, this is now the principal sense.

Japanese Mythology.

A mythical creature possessing the body parts of various different animals and believed to eat bad dreams.Depictions of baku vary, but common features include: the trunk and tusks of an elephant; the eyes of a rhinoceros; the mane of a lion; the body of a bear; the tail of an ox; the paws of a tiger or lion; a small head; and black-and-white spotted fur.

Forms: 1900s bacoup (rare), 1900s– bakou, 1900s– baku.

Origin: Of unknown origin.

Etymology: Origin unknown. Compare French bakou (1927 or earlier in same sense; in early use also with capital initial).Taken by OED Suppl. (1933) to be from a language of the Philippines, but no likely etymon has been identified, and a final -u would not be expected in that case. The form bacoup has only been found in the work cited in quot. 1927 and is apparently not paralleled in French.

Fine straw prepared from the fibres of the buri or talipot palm, typically used for making hats. Cf. buntal n.
