Where this word comes from

Inherited from Old French bahur. Further origin unknown, most hypotheses being weak in one respect or another (cf. Further reading below). Bratchet suggests Middle High German behut (“hutch for provisions”) or Frankish *baghūdi, *baghōdi (“sideboard”), from Proto-Germanic *bagg- (possibly related to Old Norse baggi, Proto-Germanic *pakkô) + *hūdiz (“hide, protection”). Compare Italian baule, Ladino baul, Portuguese baú.
