Etymology

Uncertain. Perhaps of from a pre-Roman substrate (compare how ab oculis went through similar history), from a putative term originally meaning “with a hole (where the eye should be)” from Proto-Indo-European *bʰerH- (“to pierce, make a hole”). The common toponym Borne could be akin to this and have originally meant “cavity”.[1]
