Etymology 1

Probably related to or alteration of bogle, akin to or from a variant of Middle English bugge ("frightening specter, scarecrow"), perhaps from obsolete Welsh bwg ("ghost, hobgoblin"; compare Welsh bwgwl ("threat", older "fear")) or from Proto-Germanic *bugja- (“swollen up, thick”) (compare Norwegian bugge (“big man”), dialectal Low German Bögge and Alemannic German Böögg (“goblin”, “snot”) from Proto-Germanic *pūkô (“a goblin, spook”), from Proto-Indo-European *(s)pāug(')- (“brilliance, spectre”)). Perhaps the Middle English and Welsh words come from a word related to buck and originally referred to a goat-shaped specter.

Also possibly related to Irish bagairt (“threat”).
