burrow

etymology_texts:
源自中古英語 borowe、borewe、borwȝ、burȝe、burh、burye (“动物的藏身处，洞穴”)，可能是中古英語 burgh (“加固了的住处，要塞，藏身处”)的一个变体（参见borough），因此源自古英語 burh，源自原始日耳曼語 *burgz (“要塞；城市”)，源自原始印歐語 *bʰerǵʰ- (“高”)，但这个词义未出现于古英語 burh。但对比荷兰语同源词burcht，其意思相近。
可能与bury (“挖”)有关，这样的话即派生自原始印歐語 *bʰergʰ- (“保护，护卫，保全”)。

glosses: （尤指小动物挖的）洞穴，地洞
