Definition buxom
Etymology
From Middle English buxum, buhsum, bucsum (“bendsome, flexible, pliant, obedient”), (also Middle English ibucsum, ibuhsum, possibly from OE past participal form), from Old English *b?hsum (“bendsome, pliant”) (Old English *?eb?hsum), a derivative of Old English b?gan (“to bend, bow”), equivalent to bow + -some (b?gan + -sum). Cognate with Scots bowsome (“compliant”), Dutch buigzaam (“flexible, pliant”) (Middle Dutch boochsaem), German biegsam (“flexible, pliant”), derived from Dutch buigen and German biegen, and their older forms, respectively.
