Meaning & usage
to bore
to pierce
Where this word comes from
From *bʰerH-, though the specific pre-form of the word is uncertain. It could reflect a denominative to a noun *bʰorH-éh₂ (“hole?”), though it theoretically also could continue earlier *bʰorH-ye-ti, whence also Proto-Germanic *barjaną (“to beat, strike”). In this alternative scenario, the vocalization of the laryngeal would have created a Proto-Italic pre-form *foraō, whence the attested Latin verb. Cognate with Lithuanian bárti (“to accuse, scold”), Old Church Slavonic брати (brati, “to fight”), Icelandic berja (“to beat”), English bore.
