From Wiktionary, the free dictionary

Latin

Etymology

From bōs (ox, bull). The formation is obscure: the apparent base, būb-, which is also found in būbīle (stall for cattle) and Būbōna (goddess of oxen), is unexpected because of the additional -b- (expected is bovi-, bū- or bō-); neither does -ulus usually derive adjectives from nouns.

Pronunciation

Adjective
