bodach

A bodach ((:ˈpɔt̪əx); plural ''bodaich'' "old man; rustic, churl, lout"; Old Irish ''botach''), is a trickster or bogeyman figure in Gaelic folklore and mythology.
The ''bodach'' "old man" is paired with the ''cailleach'' "hag, old woman" in Irish legend.
==Name==
''Bodach'' (Old Irish also ''botach'') is the Irish word for a tenant, a serf or peasant.
It is derived from ''bod'' (Old Irish ''bod'') "tail, penis".〔
(DIL B 148.77 ):
"botach o, m. (1 bot , from bod, mentula (), M() G() ''bod'' (D. of Lismore passim), M() Ir() ''bod, bot,
*boddo-, bozdo-''; Gr() πόσθη, 'mentula'. Stoke suggests the alternative form ''butto-s'', Gr() βύττος, vulva, but the G() ''d'' is against this. He also suggests that ''bodach'' is formed on the O() Fr() ''botte'' 'a clod'."〕
The word has alternatively been derived from ''both'' "cottage, hut" (probably a borrowing from Old Norse, as is English ''booth''). The term ''botach'' "tenant farmer" is thus equivalent to a cotter (the ''cotarius'' of the Domesday Book); a ''daer botach'' was a half-free peasant of a lower class.〔Charles McLean Andrews, ''The Old English Manor'' (1892), (p. 72 )〕
In either case, the name is formed by the addition of nominal suffix ''-ach'' ("connected or involved with, belonging to, having").
In modern Gaelic, ''bodach'' simply means "old man", often used affectionately.〔

In the ''Eachtra Chonlae'', one "''Boadach'' the Eternal" is king of Mag Mell.
This name is derived from ''buadhach'' "victorious" and unrelated to ''botach'' in origin.
However, the two names may have become associated by the early modern period,
as Manannan is also named king of Mag Mell, and the ''bodach'' figure in ''Eachtra Bhodaigh an Chóta Lachtna'' (17th century) is in turn identified with Manannan.
