Etymology

The ultimate origin is uncertain. Closely related to Old Armenian բոզ (boz, whore) (likely a Zan borrowing) and Middle Georgian ბოზი (bozi, whore) (likely an Armenian reborrowing). According to Javakhishvili, of the same root as Georgian ნე-ზვ-ი (ne-zv-i, (breeding) sow/ewe/nanny goat), with the main part being -ზო- (-zo-), meaning he derives it from Proto-Kartvelian *zw- (to kitten, to fawn), and ბო- (bo-) being a prefix to denote young age. Compare Georgian ბაღანა (baɣana) for development.

Further compare Old Georgian ნეზჳ (nezwi, nanny goat), Adyghe бзы (bzə), Kabardian бзы (bzə), Ubykh -bza, Abkhaz а-пс (a-pʼs, female (of animals)).
