Etymology

From Middle French, from Old French bouder ‎(“to sulk", literally, "to swell or protrude the lip”), from a root *bod- ‎(“to swell”) (compare Walloon boder ‎(“to swell”)), probably from Proto-Germanic *būd-, *beud-, *buzda-, *bus- ‎(“to swell”), from Proto-Indo-European *beu-, *bu-, *bʰew- ‎(“to blow, swell”). Cognate with Middle Low German buddich ‎(“swollen”), Old Norse budda ‎(“purse, bag”), Old Saxon būdil ‎(“bag, purse”), Old High German būtil ‎(“purse”) (German Beutel), English bud. More at bud, bug.
