Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

The term 'buffer' derives from the Middle French 'bouffer' (to puff out or cushion), combined with 'solution' from the Latin 'solutio' (a loosening or dissolving). In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, physical chemists adopted 'buffer' metaphorically to describe chemical systems that cushion against drastic changes in pH.
