Origin

Mid 17th century (originally denoting European hunters in the Caribbean): from French boucanier, from boucan 'a frame on which to cook or cure meat', from Tupi mukem.

A buccaneer was originally a French hunter of wild oxen in South America or the Caribbean who cooked meat on a wooden frame over an open fire. The name for this frame was a boucan, a word that came through French from Tupi, a language of the Amazon basin. Later in the same century people began to apply buccaneer to a pirate of the Spanish American coasts, because the hunters changed career.
