Hi everyone! First time posting here. 😊
I recently asked this etymology question over on EL&U, which also touches on ornithology/zoology: Why are booby birds called boobies? https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/628803/why-are-booby-birds-called-boobies
I thought I’d share it here too, as some of you might have insights or want to weigh in. Cheers!
