In summary

Borrowed from German Low German Butt, from Middle Low German but, butte, from Old Saxon *butt, from Proto-Germanic *buttaz (“stumpy”). Cognate with Dutch bot and with English butt, in all senses.
Apparently this word had the primitive meaning of being a stump, i. e. being flattened by reason of beating, whereby the root might be identified with the one of English beat and German bossen, bosseln.
