Etymology

The French noun **boucle** comes from Old French *boucle*, which in turn derives from Latin *buculus* “small ball, loop”, a diminutive of *bos* (“cow”). Initially it described a curl of hair or a looped rope, and over time it broadened to any coiled shape, eventually also naming the fastening device known in French as a “boucle”.
