Etimologia (English)

Inherited from francès mitjà: bœuf

Inherited from francès antic: buef

Inherited from llatí: bōs

Cognate with anglès: cow

In summary

Inherited from Middle French bœuf, from Old French buef, boef, from Latin bovem (“ox”), from Proto-Italic *gʷōs, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *gʷṓws (compare English cow).
The music sense derives from the expression “faire un Bœuf”, after the Parisian cabaret-bar Le Bœuf sur le toit where jam sessions were held.
