Latin

Etymology 1

Uncertain. Used to calque Greek Ἐρινύς (Erinús), spirits of punishment in mythology. Possibly cognate with Proto-Slavic *buřa (cf. Russian буря (burja, storm)) and Sanskrit भुरति (bhurati, to palpitate, quiver), which would point to Proto-Indo-European *bʰur-. Other proposed Proto-Indo-European origins include *dʰewh₂- (to smoke) and *dʰewH- (to shake; to rumble, roar).
