Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from Middle English 'bochour', which traces back to Old French 'bochier' (meaning a slaughterer of goats), ultimately originating from the Vulgar Latin 'buccutarius', derived from 'bucca' meaning cheek or mouth. Over time, the term evolved from specifically referring to goat slaughterers to encompass anyone who slaughters animals for food or prepares and sells meat.
