The word "bun" traces back to Middle English bunne, likely derived from Old French bugne (a type of swollen pastry or bump), which itself may have originated from a Germanic root related to swelling or roundness. The term evolved to describe small, rounded bread rolls and later extended metaphorically to describe coiled hairstyles resembling the shape of a bun.
