Etymology

In summary

From Ottoman Turkish بورندی (burundu) or بورنتی (buruntu, “a griping of the bowels, colic”), from Ottoman Turkish بورنمق (burunmaḳ, “for the bowels to pinch and gripe with pains of colic”), from Ottoman Turkish بورمق (burmaḳ, “to twist or screw, to wring, to strangle, for the bowels to gripe”), from Proto-Turkic *bür- or *bur- (“to twist, to wring”). Possibly evolved from the form Proto-Turkic *bügür-, which was derived from Proto-Turkic *bük- (“intransitive; to be squeezed, to be strangled”), morphologically bur- + -un- + -tu.
