The English term bonfire is attested from the 15th century, as banefire "bone-fire", originally of fires in which the bones of slaughtered animals were burned, allegedly a Gaelic tradition of the slaughter season in autumn. It is a controlled outdoor fire used for informal disposal of burnable waste material or as a pert of a celebration.
