Etymology
Inherited from Proto-Slavic *boturь (“plant stem, sprout”), syntactically parseable as боте́я (botéja, “to grow, to flourish”) (dialectal) + -ур (-ur). Related via another vowel grade to dialectal Russian бата́рь (batárʹ, “weed”) and via another suffix to Russian боту́н (botún, “altai onion”). For the semantic development, compare the akin Proto-Germanic *baumaz (“shoot, sprout”) → English beam.
