Where this word comes from
From Middle High German *bügel (attested as bügele f, later bogell m [15th c.]), from Proto-Germanic *bugilaz, from the root of *beuganą (“to bend, bow”). Cognate with Dutch beugel, Middle Low German bȫgel (earlier already Old Saxon armbugil), Old Norse bygill (whence Danish bøjle etc.). It seems that the word was originally northern (Low and Central German) and established itself more widely only during the 16th century. The Schweizerisches Idiotikon still considers it “not truly autochthonous” (nicht recht volksmäßig).
