The noun [_Busen_][1] is generally a synonyme of _weibliche Brust_ (female breast).

I have only learned now, while doing research for this answer on [Wikipedia][2], that _Busen_ may also be used for the depression between the two female breasts. Unfortunately, Wikipedia remains silent about the origin of this usage. Other sources, such as the [DWDS][1] and [Duden Online][3], do not know this meaning.

**Edit:** Notice that the Wikipedia entry was [changed][4] on June 18<sup>th</sup> 2019. The definition that _Busen_ may also be the depression between the breasts was exchanged with the definition that it used to be also referring to the male breast.
