Étymologie (Anglais)

Hérité de moyen français: -

In summary

Inherited from Middle French borde (“bragging, story contrived to impress”), from Vulgar Latin *burda (“contrived falsehood”), attested in a Late Latin glossary as the verb burdit (“brags, boasts”). Cognate to Provençal borda (“lie, falsehood”). Uncertain whether related to Late Latin burda (“reed, rush”) or to Medieval Latin burdus, burdō (“mule”). Geographical distribution suggests a Gaulish origin.
