Etymology[edit]

Inherited from Middle French, from dé- + but (mark, goal), from Old French but (aim, goal, end, target), of Germanic origin, either via Old French butte (mound, knoll, target) from Frankish *but (stump, log), or from Old Norse bútr (log, stump, butt); both from Proto-Germanic *butą (end, piece), from Proto-Indo-European *bʰÀud- (to beat, push). Cognate with Old English butt (tree stump). More at English butt.
