butcher

butcher: [13] Butcher comes via Anglo-Norman boucher from Old French bouchier, a derivative of boc ‘male goat’ (this was probably borrowed from a Celtic word which came ultimately from the same Indo-European base as produced English buck). The original sense of the word was thus ‘dealer in goat’s flesh’.
