köken: Adapted borrowing of English box + -ować, from Middle English box.
köken: Inherited from Proto-Slavic *bъdьňa, borrowed from Proto-Germanic *budin- from Medieval Latin butina (Vulgar Latin *budina) from Ancient Greek πυτίνη (putínē, “flask”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *bʰeHw- (“to swell, puff”). Cognate with Slovak debna, German Bütte. First attested in the 19th century.
A borrowing, probably ultimately from Proto-Celtic *rūskos, in any case via Ancient Greek ῥίσκος (rhískos, “chest, trunk”). According to Beekes the change from the Celtic vowel is likely explained by the Ancient Greek word having been borrowed via Phrygian from Galatian.
