buskinn.

Brit.

/ˈbʌskɪn/, U.S.

/ˈbəskən/

Forms: 1500s boskyn, 1500s boskyne, 1500s busken, 1500s buskyn, 1500s buskyng, 1500s–1600s busgin, 1500s–1600s buskine, 1500s– buskin, 1600s busking.

Origin: Of uncertain origin.

Etymology: Origin uncertain. Perhaps related to Middle French brouzequin , brousequin (French brodequin brodequin n.) (1476 in this sense), Catalan borsegui (1459), Spanish borceguí (c1460; 1351 as †borzeguía , †borzeguina ), Portuguese borzeguim (1524–85), Italian borzacchino (1508), Middle Dutch broseken , brosken , breusken (1573; < French), although derivation of the English word from any of these forms would be problematic phonologically, and their origin and the relationships between them are uncertain. The oldest appear to be the Spanish forms, for which several etymologies from Arabic have been suggested, although none appears to account for the form of the word satisfactorily. It has alternatively been suggested that this word represents an extended sense (with loss of the final sound of the first syllable) of buckskin n., alluding to the type of leather from which this footwear was often made (compare quot. 1481-90 at buckskin n. 3), although this would leave the Romance forms unexplained. Compare earlier brodequin n.

a. Originally: a calf-high or knee-high boot or covering for the foot and leg, typically made from cloth or leather; a half-boot. Later in plural (chiefly regional): gaiters, leggings.
