Origins
Borrowed from Byzantine Greek βούττια (boúttia, plural of βούττιον (boúttion)), from Ancient Greek βοῦττις (boûttis), possibly borrowed from Pre-Greek. Doublet of buttis (“cask, barrel”). Possibly attested as butia in the Appendix Probi under the heading ‘always-plural neuter nouns’ (nomina generis neutri semper pluralis numeri). This is unverifiable, however, since no definition is given there.
