Etymology of BUCKED

The word "bucked" has its origin in the Old English language. It is derived from the verb "bucian", which meant "to bend or bow". Over time, this verb took on various meanings such as "to bend oneself or one's body" and "to stoop or crouch". Eventually, in Middle English, it started to be used specifically to describe the action of a horse jumping or kicking with its hind legs in an upward and forward motion, which is commonly known as "bucking". This usage later extended to other animals that exhibit similar movements. Thus, "bucked" as a past participle form of the verb "buck" came to represent the act of an animal performing a bucking motion.
