Etymology of BUCANLER

The etymology of the word "bucanler" is derived from the French term "boucanier", which referred to a type of pirate or privateer in the 17th century. The word "boucanier" itself had its roots in the indigenous Taíno word "bukan", which referred to a wooden frame used for smoking meat and fish. The French adopted this term to describe hunters and settlers in the Caribbean who used this smoking technique to preserve meat. Over time, some of these individuals turned to piracy, and the term "boucanier" began to be associated with these seafaring raiders. Eventually, "boucanier" was anglicized to "buccaneer", becoming the more commonly known term used in English.
