Etymology 1

    From late Middle High German biute, borrowed from Middle Low German büte, whence also the forms in other languages like Dutch buit, English booty, French butin.[1] Of uncertain ultimate origin; possibly a Celtic borrowing, from Proto-Celtic *boudi (“victory, booty, spoils”). If so, related to the name of Boudica, a British Celtic queen.
