Etymology[edit]

Borrowed from Arabic أَبُو شَامَة (ʔabū šāma, literally “the one with the mole”), clipping of قَلْعَة أَبِي شَامَة (qalʕat ʔabī šāma, literally “castle of the one with the mole”), likely via Old Sicilian, compare modern Buscema. Supposedly found also in the form Buxemium, in a papal diploma from 1168.[1] The grapheme ⟨x⟩ is here employed for /ʃ/ as many instances of /ʃ/ in Sicilian do derive from a Latin x, as for example coscia. The grapheme was also widely used in Ibero-Romance languages with the same scope.
