Etimologie (Engels)

* The word is documented since the 16th century. It is a compound formed with the noun Backe and the stem of an obsolete verb whose (West Central German) Late Middle High German form was pūsen (see pusten) and whose Early New High German equivalent was pausen, bausen ‘to be blown-up; to billow, to distend; to swell; to be full of, to be bursting with’. In Early New High German these forms were merged with the verb bauschen whose Middle High German equivalents were biuschen and būschen ‘to beat, to knock’ which was influenced semantically by them (see bauschen).
