Походження
Probably imitative of the sound of drinking. Contraction of bubby. Either a corruption oProbably imitative of the sound of drinking.
Contraction of bubby.
Either a corruption of brother, a modification of bud, or a borrowing from Pennsylvania German Bub or Southern German Bub (as was spoken in various communities in America before the early 20th century), ultimately thought to be derived from Proto-Germanic *bō- (“close [male] relation”) and thus cognate to English boy and babe.
Perhaps from Northern dialectal English bab, from Middle English bab, a variant of babe (“babe, baby”).
