bunn.2

Brit. /bʌn/, U.S. /bən/
Forms: Middle English–1600s bunne, Middle English bonn(e, 1700s–1800s bunn, Middle English– bun.
Etymology: Etymology doubtful. The modern provincial French bugne is said by Burguy and by Boiste (1840), to be used at Lyons for a sort of fritter; the word is not recorded in Old French with this sense, but bugne, beugne (= modern bigne) occurs with the sense of ‘swelling produced by a blow’; the diminutive bugnete is found in Old French with the sense of ‘fritter’, and bugnets given by Cotgrave (1611) as a synonym of bignets (now beignets), explained by him as ‘little round loaves, or lumpes made of fine meale, oyle or butter, and reasons; bunnes, Lenten loaves’. (Compare Spanish buñuelo bun, fritter.) It is conjectured that Old French bugne, originally ‘swelling’ may have had the unrecorded sense of ‘puffed loaf’ (= bugnet), and may have been adopted into English as bun. But the existence of this sense in Old French is at present hypothetical, and it is questionable whether such a derivation would account for the form of the English word.
a. A sort of cake: the use differs greatly in different localities, but the word generally denotes in England a sweet cake (usually round) not too large to be held in the hand while being eaten. In Scotland it usually means a very rich description of cake, the substance of which is almost entirely composed of fruit and spice; the richest kind of currant bread. In some places, as in the north of Ireland, it means a round loaf of ordinary bread. In the earliest examples the meaning is doubtful, the context merely indicating some kind of loaf or cake. (See cross-bun n.) Slang phrases: to take the bun, to take the cake (see cake n. 9); a bun in the oven, a child conceived; to do one's bun (New Zealand slang), to lose one's temper.
