“bushel”(“busshel”)最早出现于14世纪,作为容量的度量单位,相当于四个袋或八加仑,源自于古法语“boissel”(13世纪,现代法语“boisseau”),可能源自于“boisse”,即基于高卢-罗马“*bostia”的谷物度量单位,“*bostia”指“一把”,而“*bosta”在高卢语中是“手掌的一部分”(与爱尔兰语“bass”、布列塔尼语“boz”“手掌中的凹陷”相对应)。
具体的度量单位因地而异,而且还因货物的不同而异。虽然在19世纪的英国它得到了精确的法律定义,但在美国因州而异。自14世纪后期以来,它被广泛地用来表示“大量或数量大”的意思,同时还被称作“一篮之量”。而“hide (one's) light under a bushel”这个短语则出自于《马太福音》5:15。
