Etymology
First appears c. 1788, in the writings of Charles Dibdin, of uncertain origin. Possibly from *bruddy, *bruthy, a child-talk alteration of brother. Alternatively, perhaps from British colloquial butty (“companion”), also the form of an older dialect term meaning workmate, associated with coal mining. Itself believed derived from 1530 as booty fellow, a partner with whom one shares booty or loot. Alternatively, compare Scots buddo, bodda (“buddy, kiddo, dear”), related to Icelandic budda (“purse"; also "short, stout person”). See: Icelandic '
budda'.

If you are being formally buddied, have a good chat with your buddy and find out their interests -- these should more or less match your own. [2007, Philip Briggs, Danny Edmunds, Mozambique: The Bradt Travel Guide, →ISBN, page 86:]
