Etymology

edit

Inherited from Middle French bignet, from Old French bignet (fried dough enveloping a food substance), a diminutive of bigne, bugne, buyne (lump, swelling), from Frankish *bungjō (lump, bump, swelling), from Proto-Germanic *bungô, *bunkô (lump, heap, crowd), from Proto-Indo-European *bʰenǵʰ- (thick, dense, fat). Alternatively, from Gaulish *bunia. This etymology is incomplete. You can help Wiktionary by elaborating on the origins of this term. (Can this(+) etymology be sourced?)

Cognate with Old High German bungo (swelling, tuber) (German Bunge), Dutch bonk (lump, clump), Scottish Gaelic bonnach (cake, biscuit). Also related to English bun, bunk, bunch, bunion.

Equivalent to beigne +‎ -et.
