Butz
See also: bütz
Central Franconian
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Onomatopoeic; compare southern German Bussi (“kiss”) and similar forms in many languages. But possibly based on, or conflated with, a derivative of Proto-Germanic *bautaną (“to push”). A second sense “push” is attested for some Central Franconian dialects. It may even be the older one if Dutch botsen (“collide”) is borrowed from it (as supposed in some of the literature).
