Morphology

buttocks = buttock (transparent) = buttock + s

Regular plural formation from the singular noun 'buttock'; meaning is directly the plural of the base word.

Etymology

Buttocks comes from the older word buttock, which is built from butt meaning 'the thick end' (for example the end of a log or a cigarette) plus the small ending -ock. So it originally named the 'small thick ends' at the back of the body, which is why buttocks are the two rounded parts you sit on.
