booby-hutchn.

Brit.

/ˈbuːbɪhʌtʃ/, U.S.

/ˈbubiˌhətʃ/

Forms: see booby n.¹ and hutch n.

Origin: Apparently formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: booby n.¹, hutch n.

Etymology: Apparently < booby n.¹ + hutch n. The semantic motivation of this compound (and booby hatch n.) is unclear. Perhaps the first element shows a different word of unknown origin (compare buggy n.¹ and bogie n., both of uncertain etymology).With senses 2 and 4 compare earlier booby hatch n. 1 and 2.

a. A small, light, horse-drawn carriage or buggy; (also occasionally, with disparaging overtones) any flimsy or badly-made vehicle (cf. sense 3). Now rare.
