Etymology of BUCKLER

The word "buckler" can be traced back to the Middle English term "bokeler" (also spelled "bokeler", "bukeler", or "buckeler"). It was derived from the Old French word "bocle", which meant a small shield or a round object. The Old French term itself came from the Late Latin word "buccula", which referred to a small boss or shield. Further back, "buccula" was derived from the Latin word "bucca", meaning "cheek", since the shape of a buckler resembles a round cheek or face. Hence, the word "buckler" has etymological roots in Latin, ultimately originating from the concept of a small shield.
