/ˈbɑθi/, Scottish English

/ˈbɔθɪ/, Irish English

/ˈbʌhi/

Forms:

α. 1900s– boothie (Irish English (northern)), 1700s boothy.

β. 1800s– bothie, 1700s– bothy, 1800s bathies (plural), 1700s bothay.

Origin: Probably formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: booth n., -y suffix⁶.

Etymology: Probably irregularly < booth n. + -y suffix⁶.The origin of the of the short vowel in the first syllable is unclear. It may have been influenced by association with Scottish Gaelic both cabin, hut (pronounced /bɔh/; Early Irish both , cognate with Welsh bod dwelling place, further etymology uncertain, perhaps < the same Indo-European base as booth n.); compare the diminutives bothan (see bothan n.) and bothag . It has also been suggested that the word was initially a literary term, transmitted chiefly in writing, with the spelling based on early variants of booth n., and that the current pronunciation is a spelling pronunciation of this form.

Chiefly Scottish and Irish English (northern).

a. A hut; a shelter; a small cottage.
