From the Middle English word “bocchen” meaning “to patch,” but it’s unclear how the phrase came to refer to poor workmanship.

A botch is an old wrestling term for a scripted move that doesn’t turn out the way it’s supposed to, usually because someone screwed it up (their timing was late, they missed their opponent, etc.)
