Definition burrow

Etymology

Unknown. Formally, it appears to be a variant of borough and thus from Old English burh, from Proto-Germanic *burgz (�stronghold, city�), from Proto-Indo-European *b?er??- (�high�). but this sense is not known in Old English burh or in any Germanic cognate languages.

It may be related to bergh and bury (�to dig�), in which case it would be derived from Proto-Indo-European *b?erg?- (�to protect, defend, save, preserve�).
