Etymology 1

From Vulgar Latin *gūfus, further variant of Late Latin būfus, ultimately onomatopoeic. Its probable regional (such as Faliscan or Sabellic) origin is evident in the medial -f-, which corresponds to Latin -b-. Cognate to Romanian buhă, Spanish búho, Portuguese bufo, all "eagle owl". The original ōn-stem also gave Tuscan (Lucca) bofonchio (“hornet”), Italian bofonchiare, bifonchiare (“to mutter, grumble”).
