Proto-Slavic
Etymology
The South Slavic descendants have been related to Albanian buzë and Romanian buză, on basis of which it is speculated that all of them descend from a Balkan substratum.
If the term is of native origin, it would most likely be from the onomatopoeic Proto-Indo-European *bʰewǵ- (“to blow, to swell”). Potential cognates include Lithuanian buožė (“mace”), Latvian buoze (“lump, ball”), and possibly Proto-Germanic *būkaz (“belly”), Thracian βυζας (vyzas, “buck”), Proto-Celtic *bukkos (“buck”), Proto-Indo-Iranian *bʰuȷ́ás (“buck”).
From the same root, however, through other extensions are Latin bucca (“mouth”) and Latvian buča (“kiss”), Lithuanian bučinỹs (“kiss”).
