buccan
Buccan or Boucan is the native South American and Caribbean name〔Diccionario de Etimologías ()〕 for a wooden framework or hurdle on which meat was slow-roasted or smoked over a fire. Spaniards called the same process "barbacoa", later "barbecue".〔Oxford English Dictionary〕
The term "buccaneer" for pirates or privateers, is said to be〔 derived from buccan. In the Caribbean, seafarers used the wooden frames for smoking meat, preferably manatee. From this derived the French word ''boucane'' and hence the name ''boucanier'' for French hunters who used such frames to smoke meat from feral cattle and pigs on Hispaniola (now Haiti and the Dominican Republic). English colonists anglicised the word ''boucanier'' to ''buccaneer''.〔(''The Buccaneer's Realm: Pirate Life on the Spanish Main, 1674-1688'' ) by Benerson Little (Potomac Books, 2007)〕
