Origin

Middle English (in the sense 'place troops in hiding in order to surprise an enemy'): from Old French embusche (noun), embuschier (verb), based on a late Latin word meaning 'to place in a wood'; related to bush¹.

Ambush is from Old French embusche, based on late Latin inboscare from ‘in’ and boscus ‘wood’ also source of bush (Middle English) and bosky (late 16th century). It also gave French bouquet ‘clump of trees’, which entered English meaning ‘bunch of flowers’. The use of bouquet for the aroma from wine dates from the mid 19th century.
