boer
FromMiddle Dutchbure, fromOld Dutch*būr, fromProto-Germanic*būraz(“dweller, inhabitant”), thus originally the same as modernbuur(“neighbour”). The formboer is that of many eastern dialects includingLimburgish, where Germanic-ū- has been retained as a back vowel. In early modern Dutch these two dialectal forms were adopted as semantically distinguished words. Cognate toOld Englishbūr,ġebūr (whence Englishbower) and Old High Germanbūr (whence GermanBauer).
boer m (pluralboeren,diminutiveboertje n,feminineboerin)
Originallyonomatopoeic, as is Englishburp. The perception of farmers (etymology 1) as being mannerless people has probably played a secondary role, too. The same in GermanBäuerchen.
