BUTTLE Meaning and Definition

  1. There is no specific dictionary definition for the word "buttle" as it is considered archaic and obsolete in modern English. However, "buttle" can be traced back to Middle English, derived from the Old French word "buter," which means to thrust or push. Although its usage is extremely rare nowadays, it historically referred to engaging in a struggle or engaging in combat, typically with weapons.

    The term "buttle" has also been linked to the noun "butler," which refers to a household servant responsible for managing the household supplies, particularly alcoholic beverages. This connection can be seen through the verb "to buttle," which was used to describe the actions performed by a butler. In this context, "to buttle" meant to dispense or distribute drinks among the guests.

    Considering its disuse, "buttle" is primarily encountered in historical or literary texts, and its meaning is limited to historical warfare or old-fashioned household management. It is important to note that elevated knowledge of archaic language usage is required to understand and employ the term accurately in written or spoken communication.
