† bourdonn.¹

Forms: Middle English–1500s burdon, Middle English, 1800s bordon, bordun, Middle English–1500s burdoun(e, 1600s bourdon.

Etymology: < French bourdon ‘pilgrim's staff’, Provençal bordon, Spanish bordon, Italian bordone, medieval Latin burdōn-em, identified by Du Cange and Diez with burdo mule (the name being transferred from the pilgrim's mule to his staff). Littré suggests connection with bourde ‘pole used to support a grounded ship’, which he further refers to behourt lance; but here there seems some error.

Obsolete exc. Historical.

bourdonn.²

/ˈbʊədɒn/

Forms: Also Middle English bordoun, burdoun, burdon, Middle English burdown.

Etymology: < French bourdon the continuous bass or ‘drone’ of the bagpipe, the bass string of a violin, etc., also a drone bee, = Spanish bordon, Portuguese bordão, Italian bordone, medieval Latin burdo drone: possibly an imitative word: compare the Celtic stem durd-, dord-, noise, sound. (A conjecture that the bass-pipe of an organ, or drone of a bag-pipe may have been so called from its resemblance to a staff, bourdon n.¹, is not supported by the history.)

†1. The low undersong or accompaniment, which was sung while the leading voice sang a melody.For the continuation of this sense see burden n., in which word it has been completely merged.
