Etymology

From Proto-West Germanic *bukk, from Proto-Germanic *bukkaz (“male deer”), from Proto-Indo-European *bʰuǵ- (“ram”). Akin to Old High German boc, Old Norse bukkr, Old English bucca (“buck, male goat”).

From Proto-West Germanic *būk, from Proto-Germanic *būkaz (“belly, stomach”); perhaps representing a corruption of a diminutive (+ -uc) from Proto-West Germanic *būkuk (“miniature vessel”).
