bumpkinn.¹

Brit.

/ˈbʌm(p)kɪn/, U.S.

/ˈbəm(p)kən/

Forms: 1500s bunkin, 1600s bompkin, 1600s bumking, 1600s bumpking, 1600s bunken, 1600s–1700s bumkin, 1600s– bumpkin.

Origin: Of uncertain origin. Perhaps a borrowing from Dutch. Or perhaps formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: Dutch bommekijn ; Dutch boomkijn ; bum n.¹, -kin suffix.

Etymology: Origin uncertain. Perhaps (i) < Middle Dutch bommekijn small barrel (see bumpkin n.²), perhaps (ii) < Middle Dutch boomkijn, lit. ‘small tree’ (see bumkin n.¹), or perhaps (iii) < bum n.¹ + -kin suffix.The Latin glosses to quot. 1570 at sense 1 have been taken to suggest that this word was applied humorously to a man from the Low Countries (with batavus compare Batavia the Netherlands: see Batavian adj.) of short, stocky stature, although for neither word is this application to people recorded in dictionaries of Dutch. Formation within English as a diminutive of bum n.¹ is formally possible but not semantically straightforward.

1. An unsophisticated or socially awkward person from the country. Cf. country bumpkin n. at country n. and adj. Compounds 4.
