Italian
editPronunciation
editEtymology 1
editPerhaps from Ancient Greek βοτήρ (botḗr, “herdsman”), akin to βόσκω (bóskō, “to graze”). Alternatively from Ancient Greek βούτης (boútēs, “yokel”), from βοῦς (boûs, “cattle”). Caix derives it from Vulgar Latin puttulus, diminutive of puttus, from Latin putus (“boy”), since the meaning is still present dialectally (for the shift of change in suffix compare donnacchera).
Noun
editbuttero m (plural butteri)
Etymology 2
editFrom Arabic بُثُور (buṯūr), plural of بَثْرَة (baṯra, “pustule, pimple”).
Noun
editbuttero m (plural butteri)
