bunt (countable and uncountable, plural bunts)
bunt (third-person singular simple present bunts, present participle bunting, simple past and past participle bunted)
From Middle High German bunt, probably from Latin punctus, whence English point. Dutch bont seems to have somewhat earlier attestations in the relevant sense, but the phonetic form (b- for p- and Dutch -o- for -u-) could hint at Middle High German origin. It is therefore unsettled which of the two borrowed from which.
