Nguồn gốc từ

From Middle English bustlen, bustelen, bostlen, perhaps an alteration of *busklen (> Modern buskle), a frequentative of Middle English busken (to prepare; make ready), from Old Norse búask (to prepare oneself); or alternatively from a frequentative form of Middle English busten, bisten (to buffet; pummel; dash; beat) -le. Compare also bustla.
