Etymology
**bu** (noun) – a small wine cask or barrel – comes from Old French *bu*, itself derived from Vulgar Latin *buttus* (“cask, barrel”), a term related to the Latin *bota* (cask). Over time the word narrowed in French to denote a specific wine‑cask size (about 20 litres), while in English the cognate *butt* survived only as a general term for a large barrel.
