BORDER ON Meaning and
Definition
-
The phrase "border on" refers to the act or state of being very close to or approaching a boundary or limit, either in a physical or metaphorical sense. When something "borders on" a particular condition or quality, it means that it is almost reaching or touching the edge or threshold of that condition or quality. It expresses the idea of being extremely close to achieving or exemplifying a certain characteristic, behavior, or state.
This phrase is often used to describe situations, actions, or behaviors that exhibit similarities or characteristics of something else, without fully embodying or representing it. For instance, if someone's behavior "borders on rudeness," it means that their behavior is very close or similar to rudeness, but does not fully cross into being rude. Similarly, if an event "borders on chaos," it implies that the event is on the brink of turning into complete disorder, but has not yet reached that point.
"Border on" can also be used to indicate that something is almost at the brink or verge of becoming unacceptable, inappropriate, or extreme. By using this phrase, one highlights the proximity to a specific outcome or boundary without entirely being within it. It conveys the sense of being on the edge or threshold, suggesting that further progression or development might push past that boundary.

Etymology of BORDER ON
The phrase "border on" is not a word in itself, but rather a combination of two words - "border" and "on". Here is the etymology for each of these words:
1. Border:
The word "border" originated from the Middle English word "bordure", which came from the Old French word "bordure" meaning "seam, edge, or border". It can be traced back to the Medieval Latin word "bordūra" and the Late Latin word "bordāria", meaning "edging, border, or trimming". The Latin words are derived from the Old English word "bordan", meaning "to border or to provide with a border".
2. On:
The word "on" originated from the Old English word "on" or "an", which denotes "in, into, or upon".
