Origin

Late Middle English: probably from bull¹ in the sense 'large or coarse', as in words such as bullfrog.

bull from Old English:
Bull goes back to Old Norse. In Stock Exchange terminology a bull is a person who buys shares hoping to sell them at a higher price later, the opposite of a bear. The latter term came first, and it seems likely that bull was invented as a related animal analogy. Nowadays, people might associate bull in the sense ‘nonsense’ with the rather cruder term bullshit, which has been used with the same meaning since the early 20th century. Bull is much older being first recorded in the early 17th century, in the sense ‘an expression containing a contradiction in terms or a ludicrous inconsistency’. An Irish bull was a fuller name for this. Where this bull comes from is unknown, though the experts are sure it has nothing to do with a papal bull (an order or announcement by the pope), which is from medieval Latin bulla, ‘a sealed document’. The bull of bulrush (Late Middle English) and bullfrog (mid 18th century) probably indicates size and vigour. See also bulletin
