butterscotchn.adj.

Brit.

/ˈbʌtəskɒtʃ/, U.S.

/ˈbədərˌskɑtʃ/

Forms: 1800s butterscot, 1800s– butterscotch.

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: butter n.¹, Scotch adj.; scotch v.¹

Etymology: < butter n.¹ + a second element of uncertain identity; perhaps Scotch adj., with reference to an actual or supposed Scottish origin (compare the variant butterscot); or perhaps scotch v.¹, perhaps with reference to scoring into pieces when cooled.In the form butterscot apparently remodelled after Scot n.¹; in addition, sweet-scot and sugar-scot are both found in the source cited in quot. 1855 at sense A. 1 as names of the same confection. The suggestion that the second element shows scorch v.¹ is probably less likely, on grounds both of form and that the ingredients are boiled but not burnt.

A. n.

1. A brittle golden-brown confection, similar to toffee, made by boiling brown sugar or treacle with butter, sometimes with other ingredients added; (as a count noun) a sweet made from this.
