Where did the word 'debut' originate?

The Germanic language by way of the French is the origin which etymologists give to the English Word "debut." The Frankish Word but ("block," "stock," or "stump") merges into the evolving meaning from "end" in Old French to "goal" or "mark" and then "to lead off at (Bowling-like) bowls" or "to make the first stroke at billiards" by the sixteenth century and "first appearance" as début in 1751. The masculine singular noun will be pronounced as "dey-byoo" in modern French.
