Inherited from Middle French bignet, from Old French bignet (“fried dough enveloping a food substance”), a diminutive of bigne, bugne, buyne (“lump, swelling”), from Frankish *bungjō (“lump, bump, swelling”), from Proto-Germanic *bungô, *bunkô (“lump, heap, crowd”), from Proto-Indo-European *bʰenǵʰ- (“thick, dense, fat”). Alternatively, from Gaulish *bunia. This etymology is incomplete. You can help Wiktionary by elaborating on the origins of this term. (Can this(+) etymology be sourced?)
Cognate with Old High German bungo (“swelling, tuber”) (German Bunge), Dutch bonk (“lump, clump”), Scottish Gaelic bonnach (“cake, biscuit”). Also related to English bun, bunk, bunch, bunion.
