Dutch bont seems to have somewhat earlier attestations in the relevant sense, but the phonetic form (b- for p- and Dutch -o- for -u-) could hint at Middle High German origin. It is therefore unsettled which of the two borrowed from which. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /bʊnt/ Rhymes: -ʊnt Homophone: Bund === Adjective === bunt (strong nominative masculine singular bunter, comparative bunter, superlative am buntesten) (obsolete) spotted, speckled multi-colored; colorful; variegated Synonym: vielfarbig (by extension) mixed, varied, heterogeneous ein bunter Haufen ― a motley crew ==== Declension ==== ==== Derived terms ==== kunterbunt quietschbunt zu bunt === Further reading === “bunt” in Digitales Wörterbuch der deutschen Sprache “bunt” in Uni Leipzig: Wortschatz-Lexikon “bunt” in Duden online == Norwegian Bokmål == === Etymology === From Middle Low German bunt. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /bʉnt/ === Noun === bunt m (definite singular bunten, indefinite plural bunter, definite plural buntene) bundle, bunch === References === “bunt” in The Bokmål Dictionary. “bunt” in Det Norske Akademis ordbok (NAOB). == Norwegian Nynorsk == === Etymology === From Middle Low German bunt. === Noun === bunt m (definite singular bunten, indefinite plural buntar, definite plural buntane) bundle, bunch === References === “bunt” in The Nynorsk Dictionary. == Plautdietsch == === Etymology === From Latin punctus (“dotted, speckled”), similar to German Punkt (“dot”). === Adjective === bunt motley, variegated, multicolored colorful gaudy == Polish == === Etymology === Borrowed from Middle High German bund (originally any union, the "mutiny" sense since the 17th century).
