Simplified etymology

Bulletin was adopted in the mid-17th century from Italian bulletta “official warrant or certificate.” Bulletta derives from Italian and medieval Latin bulla “seal, sealed document”; the original Latin meaning of bulla was “bubble.”

Borrowed from French bulletin. By surface analysis, bull (“ball”) + -et (“diminutive”) + -in (“diminutive”).
