From 中期英語 buty, botye, bottyne, from Old French butin, botin, from Middle Low German bǖte (“distribution, exchange, loot”), of obscure origin, but related to Middle High German biute, German Beute (“booty”). Possibly ultimately from Proto-Celtic *boudi (“profit, gains; victory”). Sense perhaps influenced by boot (as in to boot).
booty (countable and uncountable, plural booties)
Probably an alteration of botty. Possibly influenced by booty (etymology 1). This etymology is incomplete. You can help Wiktionary by elaborating on the origins of this term. Can we add some history? What did it appear? When was it popularized?
From boot.
