The actual meaning of this word is exactly the opposite of what it implies. It has always sounded like someone throwing up to me.
derives from Greek boukolikos , "rustic; pastoral," from boukolos, "a cowherd; a herdsman" from bous, "a cow; an ox."
And also from the Indo-European gwou, the Latin root is bos which we get bovine from.
