Büse, f., ‘herring-boat,’ not from MidHG. buze, OHG. buzo (z for ts), but from the equiv. Du. buis, to which OIc. búza,. AS. bûtse (in bûtsecearlas), E. buss, also correspond. There are similar words in Rom. — MidLat. buza, bussa, OFr. busse, buce. The origin of the cognates is probably not to be sought for in Teut.; the source whence they were borrowed is uncertain.
