Etymology
In summary
Inherited from Middle French boucquain (“old book of little esteem”), from a derivative of Middle Dutch boec (“book”). Either from an unrecorded Middle Dutch *boekijn, a possible variant of the usual interfixed diminutives boecskin, boekelkin; or instead a native French derivation from the Middle Dutch simplex (ultimately from Proto-Germanic *bōks (“book”)) + -in. Compare English book and -kin.
