The term "bussing" derives from the Middle English word "bussen", which originally meant "to kiss" or "to kiss one another". It can be traced back to the Old English word "bȳsan" or "būsan", with similar meanings of "to kiss" or "to make a sound with the lips". Over time, the term "bussing" evolved with various spellings and meanings, including "to kiss", "to kiss affectionately", "to smack the lips", and eventually "to kiss with a smacking sound".
In the 20th century, a new meaning of "bussing" emerged, related to the transportation of students to schools outside their immediate neighborhoods as a part of desegregation efforts. This new usage of "bussing" originated in the United States in the 1970s and gained prominence during efforts to address racial segregation in education.
