It. bugnone ‘a push, a bile, a blane, a botch’ (Florio 1598), f. bugno = OF. bugne (? whence bunny); this suits the form, but the word was until recently so rare in literary use that derivation from Italian seems very unlikely.] An inflamed swelling on the foot, esp. of the bursa mucosa at the inside of the ball of the great toe; see quot. 1878.
