Where this word comes from

Uncertain. Probably from either Proto-Germanic *bukkaz, *bukkô (“male goat”) or Proto-Celtic *bukkos, whence French bouc. The -e- is most readily explained through the Middle High German plural böcke (early on also unrounded; compare contemporary Bavarian Beck). Alternatively from Latin ībex, though this is more problematic. Compare also northern French bique.
