Where this word comes from
Uncertain. Possibly from Old Galician-Portuguese furaco, through Vulgar Latin *foraculum from Latin forāmen (“aperture, opening”). Compare Galician buraco, furaco, furado, Asturian furacu, buracu, Ladino burako, Leonese buraco, Spanish buraco; compare also, just for the card games, Italian burraco and Sicilian vurracu. Cf. also Catalan forat, Spanish horado. Or, possibly borrowed from Old High German boron (“to bore, drill”).
