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”).
