Etymology
Buton entered Romanian from French bouton, a button or knob. French bouton comes from the verb bouter, to push or thrust, which traces to a Germanic root meaning to strike or beat. The same Germanic root gave English its own word button by a separate path through Old French. Romanian keeps the word narrowly for mechanical or electronic buttons; a cloth button is nasture.
