Etymology 1

[edit]

Middle Englishburien,berien, fromOld Englishbyrġan, fromProto-West Germanic*burgijan, fromProto-Germanic*burgijaną(“to keep safe”), ultimately fromProto-Indo-European*bʰergʰ-(“to defend, protect”).

Cognate withIcelandicbyrgja(“to cover, shut; to hold in”);West Frisianbergje(“to keep”),Germanbergen(“to save/rescue something”),Danishbjerge(“to save/rescue something or somebody”); also EasternLithuanianbir̃ginti(“to save, spare”),Russianбере́чь(beréčʹ,“to spare”),Ossetianӕмбӕрзын(æmbærzyn,“to cover”).

The spelling with ⟨u⟩ represents the pronunciation of the West Midland and Southern dialects, while the Modern English pronunciation with /ɛ/ is from the Kentish dialects.[1]
