Origin:
The word "bufo" has been used to refer to toads since at least the 1st century AD when it was used by Pliny the Elder in his natural history. It is thought to have originated from the Proto-Indo-European root "*bheubhre-" which means "to swell, inflate." This is likely due to the characteristically swollen and inflated appearance of toads.
Usage:
The word "bufo" is still commonly used in scientific contexts, particularly in taxonomy and herpetology. It is also occasionally used in everyday language, although "toad" is more common.
