bouder

Inherited from Middle French bouder, from Old French bouder (“to sulk”, literally “to swell or protrude the lip”), from a root *bod- (“to swell”) (compare Walloon boder (“to swell”)), probably from Proto-Germanic *būd-, *beud-, *buzda-, *bus- (“to swell”), from Proto-Indo-European *beu-, *bu-, *bʰew- (“to blow, swell”). Cognate with Middle Low German buddich (“swollen”), Old Norse budda (“purse, bag”), Old Saxon būdil (“bag, purse”), Old High German būtil (“purse”) (German Beutel), English bud. More at bud, bug.
