What French word does buffalo come from?

The word "buffalo" comes from the Italian word "búfalo".

It's interesting to note that the Italian word itself is derived from the Latin word "būbalus", which referred to a type of African wild ox. The word then traveled through various languages before eventually being adopted into English.
