Crimean Gothic[edit]

Etymology[edit]

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.[1]

Noun[edit]

borrotsch

  1. desire
    • 1562, Ogier Ghiselin de Busbecq, (Please provide the book title or journal name):
      Borrotsch. Voluntas.
      (please add an English translation of this quotation)

Usage notes[edit]

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