bulwarkn.

Brit.

/ˈbʊlwək/,

/ˈbʌlwək/,

/ˈbʊlwəːk/,

/ˈbʌlwəːk/, U.S.

/ˈbʊlˌwərk/

Forms: Middle English bulwerke, Middle English–1500s bul-, bullwork(e, 1500s bolwark, ( bulwarge), 1500s–1600s bulwarke, (1600s burwarke), 1800s bullwark, 1500s– bulwark.

Etymology: Compare Dutch, Middle High German bolwerk , modern German bollwerk , Danish bulværk , Swedish bolverk ; the word is not recorded in Old Norse, and the Danish and Swedish forms may be of German origin. Prof. Skeat, regarding the word as ultimately Scandinavian, derives it from the words represented in English by bole n.¹ and work n., in which case the primitive sense would be ‘a work constructed of tree-trunks’. Others would connect the first element with the Middle High German verb boln to throw, on the ground that the Middle High German word seems in some cases to have meant a machine for throwing large stones. Both etymologies are found in early modern German authors. The Germanic word was borrowed in French as boullewerc , bollewerc , whence boulever , modern boulevard n.

a. A substantial defensive work of earth, or other material; a rampart, a fortification. Now only archaic or poetic.
