Source etymology 1
Original entry ↗A stopper, alternative to a cork, often made of rubber, used to prevent fluid passing through the neck of a bottle, vat, a hole in a vessel etc. · The cecum or anus, especially of livestock but sometimes (slang) of humans. · A bribe. · The orifice in the bilge of a cask through which it is filled; bung-hole.
To plug, as with a bung. · To put, throw, or place something without care; to chuck. · To batter, bruise; to cause to bulge or swell. · To pass a bribe to (someone).
From Medieval Dutch bonge, bonne or bonghe (“stopper”), or perhaps from French bonde, which may itself be either of Germanic origin or from Proto-Celtic *bunda—either way probably from puncta (“hole”), the feminine singular form of Latin punctus, perfect passive participle of pungō (“pierce into, prick”).
