'bugle' originates from Middle English, specifically the word 'bugle,' which referred to a wild ox, from Latin 'buculus,' meaning 'young bull.'

'bugle' changed from the Middle English word 'bugle' (wild ox) and eventually became the modern English word 'bugle' (musical instrument).

Initially, it meant 'wild ox,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'a brass instrument.'
