In summary

15th century, also in the form butzen. Origin unknown. Perhaps derived from Middle High German butze (“lump, piece, stump”), from Old High German *butz, from Proto-West Germanic *butt, from Proto-Germanic *buttaz (whence also English butt), with the interpretation of the verb being "to (remove) lumps and stumps", but there are several other theories. Perhaps related to Latin puto in the sense of "clean".
