köken: From late Middle High German biute, borrowed from Middle Low German büte, whence also the forms in other languages like Dutch buit, English booty, French butin. Of uncertain ultimate origin; possibly a Celtic borrowing, from Proto-Celtic *boudi (“victory, booty, spoils”). If so, related to the name of Boudica, a British Celtic queen.
köken: According to Max Vasmer, comes from деру́, драть (dratʹ). Compare typologically дребеде́нь (drebedénʹ), чепуха́ (čepuxá). Compare otherwise also Polish bzdura.
