Etymology

In summary

From late Middle High German biute, borrowed from Middle Low German büte, whence also the forms in other languages like Dutch buit, English booty, French butin. Of uncertain ultimate origin; possibly a Celtic borrowing, from Proto-Celtic *boudi (“victory, booty, spoils”). If so, related to the name of Boudica, a British Celtic queen.
