Oddly enough, it appears to have an English cousin, in the current adjective "bosky", shaded, from the Middle English "bosk", bush.
*Our* bosque is a very pleasant interval in our high desert landscape (which has its own severe beauty). I was *very* fortunate, 14 years ago, to find an affordable duplex in a very pretty little infill project right smack up against the bosque, less than 1/2 mile west of the Big River. I can climb over my wall in be among deciduous trees, something rather rare here in the high desert.
