busbyn.

Brit.

/ˈbʌzbi/, U.S.

/ˈbəzbi/

Origin: Of unknown origin.

Etymology: Origin unknown.It has been suggested that the word is derived either < the surname of Dr Richard Busby (1606–95), English clergyman and headmaster of Westminster School 1640–95, owing to the style of hat or wig he is thought to have favoured (so e.g. in R. S. Charnock Verba Nominalia (1866) 33), or perhaps < the name of the villages of Great Busby and Little Busby in northern Yorkshire (Busby is also the name of a town in Renfrewshire, Scotland). However, evidence to support either of these theories is lacking. For an alternative etymological suggestion, linking the word with buzz-wig at buzz n.³ 1 (which is, however, apparently first attested later), see quot. 1882 at sense 1; perhaps compare also buzz n.², buzzy adj.²

1. A kind of large bushy wig. Also (more fully): busby wig. Cf. buzz-wig at buzz n.³ 1. Now rare.

1882 Globe 24 July 2/1 This ‘Busby’, so often used colloquially when a large bushy wig is meant, most probably took its origin, not..from Dr. Busby, the famous head master of Westminster School, but from the wig denominated a ‘Buzz’, from being frizzled and bushy.

2. A tall fur hat with a coloured cloth flap hanging down on the right-hand side and (in some cases) a plume on the top, forming part of the dress uniform of soldiers of certain regiments of hussars and artillerymen.Busby is sometimes mistakenly used for bearskin, a taller hat worn ceremonially by the Guards in the British Army (see bearskin n. 1b).
