词源

From Middle English bough, bowe, bogh, boȝe, boȝ, from Old English bōh, bōg ‎(“arm; shoulder; bough”), from Proto-Germanic *bōguz ‎(“upper arm; shoulder”) (compare German Bug ‎(“shoulder, hock, joint”)), from Proto-Indo-European *bʰāǵʰus ‎(“forearm, elbow”) (compare Ancient Greek πῆχυς ‎(pêkhus, “forearm”), Old Armenian բազուկ ‎(bazuk, “arm, forearm, bough”), Persian بازو ‎(bāzu, “upper arm”), Sanskrit बाहु ‎(bahus, “arm”)).

FROM: wiktionary

中世纪英语, 来自古英语bōg("shoulder, bough"), 来自原始日耳曼语*bōguz("upper arm, shoulder") (参见德语Bug("shoulder, hock, joint")), 来自原始印欧语*bʰāǵʰus("forearm, elbow") (参见古希腊语πῆχυς("forearm"), xcl բազուկ("arm, forearm, bough"), 波斯语بازو("upper arm"), 梵文बाहु("arm")).

来自PIE *bhagus, 肘，手臂。
