Backformed from compounds of Latin ūrere, ustum (“to burn”), via metanalysis of amb-ustum as am-bustum, which also led to combūrō. The interpretation of the word was thus "place for burning things around" > "place for funeral pyres" > "burial mound", whence later senses of "upper torso" in descendant languages. Compare also the etymology of the related Italian bruciare (“to burn”).
bustum n (genitive bustī); second declension
