Etymology

Inherited from Middle French: bouton

Inherited from Old French: bouton

Cognate with Old High German: bōzo

Cognate with Old Saxon: bōto

Cognate with Italian: bottone

Cognate with Spanish: botón

In summary

Inherited from Middle French bouton, boton, from Old French bouton, boton (“button, bud”), from Vulgar Latin *bautōnem, accusative of bautō, from Frankish *bautō (“that which pushes up, bump, knob”), from Proto-West Germanic *bautan (“to beat, push”). By surface analysis, bouter (“to push”) + -on.
Cognate with Old High German bōzo (“bundle, flaxbundle”), Old Saxon bōto (“bunch or bundle of flaxs”). Compare Italian bottone, Spanish botón, which are borrowings of the French word.
