Definitions and meaning of bosk

bosk

Etymology

From Middle English bosk, busk, variants of bush (grove, wood; thicket, underbrush; bush; branch of a shrub or tree), from Old English busc (attested only in place names), likely from Anglo-Latin bosca (firewood), from Late Latin busca, buscus, boscus (wood; woodland), from Frankish and Proto-West Germanic *busk, from Proto-Germanic *buskaz (bush, thicket), probably from Proto-Indo-European *bʰuH- (to become, grow, appear).

The English word is cognate with Dalmatian buasc (forest; wood), French bois (wood (material); wood, woodland), Italian bosco (wood (wooded area)), Middle Dutch bosch, busch (modern Dutch bos (forest; wood)), Norwegian busk (bush, shrub); Occitan boscs, Old High German busk (bush) (Middle High German busch, bosch, modern German Busch (bush, shrub; brush, scrub)), Portuguese bosque (grove), Spanish bosque (forest), West Frisian bosk (forest). Doublet of bush.

Alternatively, the modern word may be a back-formation from bosky (having abundant bushes, shrubs, or trees).
