Latin
Etymology
Related to Late Latin buttis, itself possibly borrowed from Ancient Greek βοῦττις (boûttis), perhaps from the diminutive βουττιον n (bouttion) with plural in /-a/.
Presumably this is the butia listed in the Appendix Probi under ‘always-plural neuter nouns’ (nomina generis neutri semper pluralis numeri). However there is no indication of its meaning there.
Pronunciation
Noun
*buttia f (Proto-Western-Romance)
Reconstruction notes
Possibly also the origin of Italian boccia, but this is debated.
