Latin

Etymology

    Likely borrowed from Ancient Greek βουττια (bouttia), diminutive plural of βοῦττις (boûttis, “vessel”), whence perhaps Late Latin buttis (“cask, barrel”).

    Possibly attested as butia in the Appendix Probi under the heading ‘always-plural neuter nouns’ (nomina generis neutri semper pluralis numeri). This is unverifiable, however, since no definition is given there.

    Pronunciation

    • IPA(key): /ˈbott͡sʲa/

    Noun

    *buttia f (Proto-Italo-Western-Romance)

    1. cask, barrel
