Where this word comes from
Inherited from Middle French bouc (“male goat”), from Old French buc (“male goat”), from Latin buccus, perhaps from the confluence of Frankish *bukk (“male goat”) (compare Old Dutch buck (“male goat”)), from Proto-Germanic *bukkaz, *bukkô (“male goat”), and Gaulish *bukkos (“male goat”) (compare Middle Breton bouch (“goat”), Old Cornish boch (“goat”), Old Irish boc (“buck”)), from Proto-Celtic *bukkos (“goat”), both from Proto-Indo-European *bʰuǵ- (“goat, buck, ram”). More at buck.
