Origin: Perhaps a variant or alteration of another lexical item. Etymon: bourtree n.

Etymology: Perhaps a folk-etymological alteration of bourtree n., after borel n. (compare forms at that entry), because the easily hollowed out stems of the elder were favoured by boys for pea-shooters.

Scottish. rare.
