Dutch

- Hyphenation: boer
- Rhymes: -ur
Etymology 1
From Middle Dutch bure, from Old Dutch *b?r, from Proto-Germanic *b?raz (“dweller, inhabitant”), thus originally the same as modern buur (“neighbour”). The form boer is that of many eastern dialects including Limburgish, where Germanic -?- has been retained as a back vowel. In early modern Dutch these two dialectal forms were adopted as semantically distinguished words. Cognate to Old English b?r, ?eb?r (whence English bower) and Old High German b?r (whence German Bauer).

boer m (plural boeren, diminutive boertje n, feminine boerin)

- (in compounds) A merchant (and sometimes producer) of a certain product group, mainly foods, often named after it, e.g. melkboer 'milkman', groenteboer '(male) greengrocer'
- A jack (playing card).
