bonxien.

Brit.

/ˈbɒŋksi/, U.S.

/ˈbɑŋksi/

Forms: 1700s– bonxie, 1900s– bonksie, 2000s– bonxsie; Scottish (Shetland) 1900s bonksi, 1900s bungsi, 1900s bunksi, 2000s– bunksie.

Origin: Probably a borrowing from Norn.

Etymology: Probably < an unattested Norn agent noun ( < a verb cognate with Norwegian (Nynorsk) bangsa to walk heavily or clumsily ( < the Scandinavian base of Old Icelandic bang knocking, hammering (see bang n.¹) + the Scandinavian base of Old Icelandic -sa , suffix forming verbs from adjectives and nouns: see cleanse v.)), with ending reanalysed as -y suffix⁶. Compare (in different sense) Old Icelandic bangsi, Norwegian regional bangse, both in sense ‘bear’. The Scandinavian parent verb was also borrowed (via Norn) into Shetland and Orkney Scots as bunks, bonks, bungse to walk heavily or clumsily, to heap clothes on oneself, muffle (early 20th cent.; in the latter sense perhaps originally (in Norn) by association with the unattested Norn cognate of Norwegian bunke bundle, heap, pile).In Shetland Scots the word also has the senses ‘short fat person’ and ‘person too heavily dressed’ (both early 20th cent.; now rare); compare Shetland Scots bunki, nickname for a short fat person.

Originally Scottish (Shetland and Orkney).

The great skua, Stercorarius skua.
