Etimologia (Inglese)

Ereditato da inglese medio: buttok

Ereditato da inglese antico: buttuc

In summary

Inherited from Middle English buttok, probably from Old English buttuc (“end; end piece”; also, “short piece of land”). Attested with its current anatomical meaning since 1300. A diminutive form of what is presumably the Old English precursor of butt + -ock (diminutive suffix).
