Etymology

**bouseux** is formed from the Old French noun **bouse** “ox, bull” (from Latin *bos*). The suffix **‑eux** makes an adjective meaning “like, having the nature of.” Originally it described a person stiff or clumsy as an ox; by the early modern period the term broadened to mean “rude, ignorant, boorish.”
