buscarln.

Brit. /ˈbʌskɑːl/, U.S. /ˈbəsˌkɑrl/
Forms: Old English butsacarl, Old English butsekarl, Old English 1700s– butsecarl, 1600s botsecal (transmission error), 1600s bursecaple (transmission error), 1600s butscarle, 1600s buzcarle, 1600s buzecatle (transmission error), 1600s 1800s– butescarle, 1600s– buscarle, 1700s–1800s butsecarle, 1700s– butescarl, 1800s– buscarl, 1800s– butscarl.
Origin: Apparently a borrowing from early Scandinavian.
Etymology: Apparently < an unattested early Scandinavian compound literally meaning ‘shipman’ (see note); compare Old Icelandic búza , buza kind of ship (see buss n.1) and Old Icelandic karl (see carl n.1). Compare housecarl n.Compare post-classical Latin butsecarla , buthsecarla , buzsecarla (a1140–1200 in British sources; earlier as buzecarl' (1086 in Domesday Book)), Anglo-Norman bucecarle , bucekarle , buscarle , buzecharle (c1139; also in use as a byname), probably both < English, as they seem to be attested only with reference to events in England in the late 12th or early 13th cent., although it is possible that the unattested Scandinavian compound had also been borrowed into French or Latin, either in England or in France. The compound may, however, have been formed in England to refer to specifically Anglo-Scandinavian conditions; compare discussion of the retainers of Cnut at housecarl n. It is also conceivable that the compound was formed in Old English rather than early Scandinavian ( < buss n.1 + carl n.1), although neither element is attested independently in English until later. It has alternatively been suggested that the first element may represent a Scandinavian cognate of bode n.2, but this is phonologically and semantically unlikely. Also attested early as a surname, e.g. Sigar Buzecarl (1111–38), Nicholas Buscecarle (a1206), Richard Buscecarl (1259). The word was revived in antiquarian and historical use in the late 16th or early 17th cent. In quot. a1601 rendering a 12th-cent. Latin translation of quot. OE2; in quot. 1663 rendering the use of the Latin word in Domesday Bk.
historical in later use.
In (late) Anglo-Saxon and Anglo-Norman England: a member of a body of men retained, apparently usually by the king, to guard the coast.Buscarls are attested historically from 1052 to 1101. It is possible that the term originally referred to Anglo-Scandinavian naval troops. They appear to have formed a paid standing force based on the English coast, especially in Kent and Sussex, and are mentioned specifically in connection with the defence of the English Channel.
