Origin

Late 15th century: perhaps related to Old French bon 'good'.

bonus from late 18th century:
This was probably originally Stock Exchange slang, coming from Latin bonus ‘good’. Very recently—too recently to get into most dictionaries—the word malus has been recorded for a fine or penalty, based on Latin malus ‘bad’ on the pattern of bonus. The French form of bonus, bon may lie behind the mainly Scottish bonny ‘good, fair’. Bounty (Middle English) goes back to the same source. See also bonanza

Rhymes

Bonnie, Connie, johnny, Lonnie, Ronnie, Suwannee
