Etymology 1
From Middle English burly, burely, borly, burlich, borlich, borlic (“tall, stately”), of uncertain origin. Cognate with Scots burely, burly (“rough, stout, sturdy, strong”). Perhaps from Old English *b?rl?? (“noble, stately”, literally “bowerly”), equivalent to bower +? -ly; or from Old English *byrl?? (“high, raised”), from byre (“raised area, mound”), cognate with Old High German burl?h, purl?h (“lofty, elevated, high, exalted”), related to Old High German burjan (“to raise, lift, push up”). See burgeon.
