可能源自 佛蘭芒語 boomken [灌木] [] boom的小后綴 [樹] *參見 bheu…-
or from Middle Dutch bommekijn [diminutive of] bomme [barrel]
或源自 中古荷蘭語 bommekijn [] bomme的小后綴 [筒，筒狀物]

<注釋>The termbumpkin may at one time have been directed at an entire people rather than that segment of the population living in a rural area. The first recorded appearance of the word in 570 is glossed by the Latin wordBatavus, .Dutchman,. thus making plausible the suggestion thatbumpkin may come from either the Middle Dutch word bommekijn, .little barrel,. or the Flemish word boomken, .shrub.. The connection would be between a squat object and the short, rotund figure of the Dutchman in the popular imagination.Any bumpkin would surely prefer this etymology to another suggestion thatbumpkin is a derivative of bum, .the rear end..
單詞bumpkin 有一個時期意指住在鄉(xiāng)下的所有人而不是其中的一部分， 這個詞于570年第一次出現(xiàn)是用拉丁詞Batavus .荷蘭人.注解的。 使得下面這個解釋似乎是說得通的，即bumpkin 有可能起源于中古荷蘭詞語 bommekijn .小圓桶.的意思，或起源于法蘭德斯語 boomken .灌木.的意思。 這兩者之間的聯(lián)系在一般的想象中就如同一個矮胖的物體同圓胖的荷蘭人間的關(guān)系。而任何一個鄉(xiāng)下人都確信無疑這個詞源有另一個解釋，即bumphin 是從 bum 演變而來的，該詞的意思是.尾部末梢.
