The word "beran" comes from the Old English language. Its etymology can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic word "beranan", meaning "bear" or "carry". In Old English, "beran" originally referred to carrying or bearing a burden, both literally and figuratively. Over time, it evolved to have more general meanings of carrying, enduring, or supporting something or someone. This word has further influenced various English words such as burden, birth, bier, and airport (which literally means a place for carrying or bearing aircraft).
