From Proto-Indo-European*bʰerH-(“brown”), either as an inheritance or more likely a borrowing from the Iranian cognate: compare Middle Persian(bwl/bōr/, “reddish-brown, bay, chestnut (horse)”), Persianبور(bur) and possibly Khwarezmian𐿂𐾻𐾾𐾲𐾶𐿂𐾺𐾻(rknβwryk, “hyena”). If the original meaning was 'fur of hyena', the word may contain the fur-suffix -ենի(-eni).
