burlyadj.adv.

Brit.

/ˈbəːli/, U.S.

/ˈbərli/

Forms: Middle English borli, Middle English borelich, burlich, burlych(e, (northern) burely, 1500s boorelie, boorelye, bourlie, bourly, ScottishMiddle English buyrlie, 1500s buirlie, 1600s borely, Middle English– burly. (See also bowerly adj., buirdly adj.)

Etymology: Middle English borlich , northern burli . Usually identified with Old High German burlîh , Middle High German burlîch exalted, lofty, stately, < *bur- cognate with Old High German burjan to lift up + -lîh = -ly suffix¹. If this be so, the word must have existed in Old English or Old Norse; but it is unrecorded, and no plausible etymon for the first element has yet been found in either of those languages. The phonology is also difficult, for the Middle English borli , borelych , 16th cent. borely , boorelye , northern 15th cent. burely , Scottish buyrlie , buirlie , require a Middle English *bōrli , Old English type *bórlíc , whence the later /ˈburlɪ/, /ˈbʌrlɪ/comes by shortening the vowel before two consonants as in turn , month . The spelling burly was originally only northern. The dialect bowerly adj. would seem from the sense to be a variant, but it is difficult to reconcile phonologically with the Middle English forms.
