Etymology 1

[edit]

Inherited from Old Czech bor, from Proto-Slavic *borъ. Because in Slovak and Polish dialects it means "marsh", it is sometimes associated with Proto-Slavic *bara, meaning the same. More probably it is connected with Proto-Indo-European *bʰor-u-. Compare also borůvka.[1]

    • 1834, František Škroup, “Kde domov můj” (national anthem of the Czech Republic). Lyrics by Josef Kajetán Tyl:
      Kde domov můj, kde domov můj? / Voda hučí po lučinách, / bory šumí po skalinách, / v sadě skví se jara květ, / zemský ráj to na pohled!
