Etymology
Borrowed from French bonbonne f, from Occitan boumbouno m [from boumbo + -ouno, ultimately from Latin bombus and -ōnem], made feminine in French under the influence of French bonne (unrelated), and with change of bomb- to bonb- under the influence of French bonbon (also unrelated). Although less common in French, the spelling bombonne more accurately reflects the Latin bomb- root.
