Remarks 'bullhead', i.e., 'bull', i.e., the animal, from Old English 'bula' (p. 85, Ref. 11979) and 'head', from Indo-European 'kauput, kaupet', i.e., bowl (as in 'skull') (p. 277, Ref. 11979); 'black', from Old English 'blæc', of obscure origins but probably related to Latin 'flagrare' and Greek 'phlégein', i.e., burn, from Indo-European 'phleg-, bhleg-' (p. 65 in Ref. 11979).
