Bushel
A bushel (abbreviation: bsh. or bu.) is an imperial and US customary unit of weight or mass based upon an earlier measure of dry capacity. The old bushel was equal to 4 pecks or 8 gallons and was used mostly for agricultural products such as wheat. At present, the volume is usually only nominal, with bushels referring to standard quantities of mass instead. Two pecks make a kenning (obsolete), and four pecks make a bushel. The name "bushel" is also used to translate similar units in other measurement systems. ==Name== The name is an anglicization of the Old French ''フランス語:boissiel'' and ''フランス語:buissiel'', meaning "little box".〔.〕 It may further derive from Old French ''フランス語:boise'', thus meaning "little butt".〔
