Bur society, especially to a students' society.’ From the last meaning, prevalent in the 15th, the acceptation of  (s after r became sch, as in , ) was developed, just as perhaps  from ;  the existing phrase  among students,  geogoð. ‘a company of young people,’ similar to youth.   ,, ‘brush,’ from bürste, , a  of ; the   term is, however, of  origin ( brosse).   ,, ‘purslane,’ from and  burzel, corrupted from the corresponding  portulaca.   ,, ‘hinder part of an animal, buttocks, brush (of a fox), scut,’ &c.; only; allied to , ?.  ,, ‘to tumble head over heels,’ from the  bürzen, burzeln; the word cannot be traced farther back.  ,, ‘bush, thicket, plume (of a helmet),’ from busch, bosch,  busc, , ‘bush, shrubbery, thicket, wood, cluster’;   bush,  bos, ‘cluster,’ bosch, ‘copse,’ bussel, ‘cluster.’ There are similar forms in ,  bosco,  bois, which are traced back to. a buscus, boscus. — Allied to , ‘cluster,’ from büschel,.   ,, ‘herring-boat,’ not from buze,  buzo (z for ts), but from the   buis, to which  búza,. bûtse (in bûtsecearlas), buss, also correspond. There are similar words in —  buza, bussa,  busse, buce. The origin of the cognates is probably not to be sought for in ; the source whence they were borrowed is uncertain.   ,, ‘bosom,’ from the  buosen, buosem,  buosam, buosum, .;   bôsm,  boezem,  bôsm,  bosom; in East-  the corresponding word ( *bôsma-) is wanting. It may perhaps be allied to, buoc, ‘arm, shoulder’ (pre- bhâghu-); but since a pre- bhâghsmo, bhâksmo- does not occur in the cognate languages, nothing can be cited in favour of that explanation; at all events,  is not allied to.   ,, ‘bust,’ only, from  buste. <section end="Büste" /> <section begin="Bußaar" /> ', ',, ‘buzzard’; the first form is a popular corruption of the second, which first occurs in  , from  busard, ‘mouse-hawk, buzzard.’ <section end="Bußaar" /> <section begin="Buße" /> ,, ‘penance, atonement,’ from buoęe,  buoęa, , ‘spiritual and legal atonement, compensation, relief’;  bôta, ‘healing, relief’;  bôt,  boot (‘use, gain, advantage’); also  bote (‘wergeld’), firebote, fireboot (‘a free supply of fuel’), housebote (‘prison expenses,’ then ‘a free supply of wood for repairs and fuel’),  bôta, ‘use.’ Under the cognate  ,  (  in , ‘to repair,’  buozzen;  bétan), will be found the necessary remarks on the evolution in meaning of the stem bat contained in these words. , ‘to make atonement, give compensation’ ; denotes a substitute of equal worth. also, ‘to make good a loss,’ &c. See. <section end="Buße" /> <section begin="Butte" /> ,, ‘flounder,’ first occurs in , from butte;  the corresponding  bot,  but. Origin obscure. <section end="Butte" /> <section begin="Bütte" /> ', ',, from the  büte, bütte, büten,  butin, , ‘tub, butt’; the cognate  and  words contain an abnormal medial t;  bytt, ‘flagon,’  butt,  bytta. These indicate that the word was borrowed in the  period, when the shifting of t to tz was already accomplished. In the cognates the meaning varies, ‘leather pipe, cask,’ just as in the class from which they were borrowed —  bota, ‘leather pipe,’  botte, ‘butt.’ To  butin ( butina),  büten, the    (from  bütenœre), ‘cooper’ (likewise a frequent surname), is also related. <section end="Bütte" /> <section begin="Büttel" /> ,, ‘beadle, jailer,’ from bütel,  butil, , ‘a messenger of the law’;   bydel, ‘messenger,’  beadle (which is based both on the  bydel and on a  word of  origin —  bedellus,  bedeau, ‘beadle’); allied to. <section end="Büttel" /> <section begin="Butter" /> ,, ‘butter,’ from the  buter, , , late  butera, ; the same medial dental appears in  boter,  butere,  butter. This necessitates the assumption that the word was first introduced into Germany about the 10th. It is derived, though changed in gender (, however, is common to the dialects), from the <section end="Butter" />
