Etymology
1. Of internal origin, but its formation is uncertain. Possibly related to bukik (“to fall, tumble”). Numerous archaic and dialectal variants exist. The bak- variants (e.g., bakfinc) were possibly folk-etymologically influenced by bak (“goat buck”), referencing the similarity between a buck's jumping and doing a somersault (see also bakfitty, bakfincál, bakfincoz). For a similar semantic connection, compare the dialectal synonyms kecskebuk, kecskebuka (see kecske (“goat”)) and German Purzelbock (from purzeln (“to tumble”) + Bock (“buck”)). First attested in 1574.
2. The alternative theory that it is a euphemistic and jocular compound of bukik (“to fall, tumble”) + segg (“arse, buttocks”) is considered less likely.
