Etymology: Of uncertain phonetic form, and unknown origin. The plausible derivation < bore v.¹ (see quot. 1691) is inconsistent with the earliest and with the dialect forms; derivation < bower n.¹, Scots bour , boor (in sense of ‘arbour’) answers phonetically, but is unlikely with regard to meaning. Compare bountree n.
