Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Originating in British English during the 19th century, the term likely derives from the obsolete word 'bosse', meaning a hump or protuberance, or possibly from a dialectal variation of 'botch'. Over time, it evolved to colloquially describe eyes that squint or look in different directions, as well as being used figuratively to describe something asymmetrical or askew.
