Word origin

The word "buzz" originated in the late Middle English period, derived from the Middle Low German word "busse", meaning a low or murmuring sound. Over time, the word evolved to encompass various meanings related to continuous humming sounds and activity. Today, "buzz" is commonly used to describe both the sound of bees and a lively or active atmosphere. The word has become a versatile term in modern language, symbolizing energy, excitement, and movement.
