Etymology

Possibly from the hypothetical Vulgar Latin word *volvita, alteration of Latin volūta, from volvere ‎(“to turn”), but this presents serious phonetic difficulties. More likely of Germanic origin, from a Gothic *buwitha, from a derivative of Proto-Germanic *būaną ‎(“to dwell reside, build”).

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /ˈbɔ.βe.da/
