From Middle High German buoche, from Old High German buohha, from Proto-Germanic *bōkō, from Proto-Indo-European *bʰeh₂ǵos. Cognate with Old Norse bók, whence Swedish bok. From Germanic *bōkō is derived *bōkijǭ, whence Dutch beuk, English beech. Further Indo-European cognates include Latin fāgus, Greek φηγός (phēgós, “oak”), Russian бук (buk) and Lithuanian bukas.
