Etymology
1. Inherited from Old French bahur. Further origin unknown, most hypotheses being weak in one respect or another (cf. Further reading below). Bratchet suggests Middle High German behut (“hutch for provisions”) or Frankish *baghūdi, *baghōdi (“sideboard”), from Proto-Germanic *bagg- (possibly related to Old Norse baggi, Proto-Germanic *pakkô) + *hūdiz (“hide, protection”).
2. Compare Italian baule, , Portuguese baú. See: Old Norse Nouns '
baggi', Italian Nouns '
baule', Portuguese Nouns '
baú'.
