Etymology of BORROWS

The word "borrows" is the third person singular present tense of the verb "borrow". The etymology of "borrow" can be traced back to the Old English word "borgan" or "bergan", which meant "to borrow" or "to lend". This Old English word likely originated from the Proto-Germanic word "burganą", meaning "to pledge" or "to borrow". The exact origin beyond Proto-Germanic is uncertain, but it is believed to have developed from the Proto-Indo-European root "*bʰerǵʰ-", which meant "to protect" or "to shelter".
