The first sound is the long vowel "o" with a lengthened duration, followed by a secondary stress on the "r" sound. The final syllable is pronounced with a schwa sound and a nasal consonant "n".

Etymology of BOREN

The word "boren" originated from the Old English word "borian" or "borian" which meant "to bore" or "to pierce". The Old English word can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic word "burōną" which also meant "to bore" or "to pierce". This word evolved further in different Germanic languages, such as Old High German "borōn" and Middle Low German "bōren". Ultimately, it can be traced back to the Proto-Indo-European root *bʰer- meaning "to bore" or "to drill".
