Etimologie (Engels)

Geërf van Middle English: botel

In summary

From Middle English botel (“bottle, flask, wineskin”), from Old French boteille, from Late Latin butticula, diminutive of buttis (“cask”). Doublet of botija.
Displaced native and pinne and non-native Old English ampella. Broadly overtook Old English flasce.
