borrotsch

Crimean Gothic

Etymology

Probably from Proto-Germanic *burjōną. Akin to Gothic 𐌲𐌰𐌱𐌰𐌿𐍂𐌾𐍉𐌸𐌿𐍃 (gabaurjōþus, “pleasure”). Krause & Slocum argue that the ending may reflect the Proto-Germanic nominative singular ending *-az.

Noun

borrotsch

1. desire
   • 1562, Ogier Ghiselin de Busbecq, (Please provide the book title or journal name):

     (please add an English translation of this quotation)

Usage notes

The Latin gloss is possibly a misprint for voluptas (“pleasure”).
