語源

Borrowed from Scots bougar, from Middle Scots bougar, bouger, bowgar (“a cross-spar in a roof”), of obscure origin; perhaps representing 古期英語 *bogagār (“arched beam”), from boga (“bow, arch”) +‎ gār (“spear”), with the vocalism later being influenced by Middle Scots bow (“to bow, bend”). However, the supposed semantic development of gār is strained even with the parallels of 古期英語 nafugār (“auger”) and Old Norse geirr (“point of an anvil”).
