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
- (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [ˈbuː.bʊ.ɫʊs]
- (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [ˈbuː.bu.lus]
