Etymology of BUTTS
The word "butts" has an interesting etymology.
It ultimately derives from the Old English word "butt", which meant the end, extremity, or target of something. This Old English term can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic word "*buttaz" and the Proto-Indo-European root "*bheud-", both meaning the same thing.
In the context of "butts" referring to the posterior or backside of a person, the word transitioned over time. The association between the term "butt" and the backside likely developed because it is the extremity at the end of the body.
Different languages have their own variations of this word. For instance, in Middle English, the word "arse" was used to refer to the buttocks. The origin of "arse" can be traced back to the Old English word "ærs".
