The first recorded use of the French wordboucanier, which was borrowed into English, referred to a person on the islands of Hispaniola and Tortuga who hunted wild oxen and boars and smoked the meat in a barbecue frame known in French as aboucan. This French word came from an Arawakan or Tupinamba word meaning "a rack, sometimes used for roasting or for storing things, or a racklike platform supporting an Indian house.”The original barbecuers seem to have subsequently adapted a more remunerative way of life, piracy,which accounts for the new meaning given to the word.Buccaneer is recorded first in 1661 in its earlier sense in English; the sense we are familiar with is recorded in 1690.如果我们认识到buccaneer 一词与 barbecuer 一词词意相当，那么象艾洛尔·弗里恩这样掠夺西班牙船只的海盗也许看起来不算是勇敢了。 法语词boucanier 借用到英语中最早记录下来的意义， 是指生活在伊斯帕尼奥拉岛和托丢伽岛上的人，他们猎野牛和野猪，在boucan 这种烧烤架上烤肉。 这个法语词来自阿拉瓦克语或图皮南巴语，意为“一种架子，有时用来炙烤或贮藏食物，或指架状平台，用来支撑印第安人的房子”。专事炙烤的土著后来适应了海上掠夺这一更有利可图的生活方式。这就是boucan一词为什么被赋予了新的意义。Buccaneer 的早些时候的意义于1661年最早用英语记录下来， 而我们所熟悉的该词的含义是于1690年记录下来的〔Uncas〕Native American leader who rebelled against his father's leadership of the Pequot and with his followers formed the Mohegan tribe.温卡斯：北美印第安人领袖，他反对他父亲作为皮科特人领袖地位，并与自己的部下组成了莫希干族部落〔Tsimshian〕A Native American people inhabiting a coastal area of western British Columbia and extreme southeast Alaska.茨姆锡安人：一支美洲印第安人，居住在不列颠哥伦比亚省（加拿大）西部沿海地区和阿拉斯加东南端〔Kaskaskia〕A Native American people forming part of the Illinois confederacy.卡斯卡斯基亚人：组成美国伊利诺斯邦联一部分的印第安人〔Amherst〕British general active in North America during the French and Indian War.
