Etymology
Borrowed from French bocage, from Old French boscage, boschage, from Vulgar Latin *boscāticum, from boscus, a borrowing from Frankish *busk, from Proto-Germanic *buskaz, probably from Proto-Indo-European *bʰuH- (“to grow”) and consequently related to inherited Russian быть (bytʹ). The Latin ending -āticum is composed of Proto-Indo-European *-eh₂tos, whence Russian -а́тый (-átyj), and *-kos, *-ḱos, whence Russian -ок (-ok).
