14世纪初,“用摩擦打磨”,来自古法语 burnir 的现在分词词干 burniss-,这个词的音序调换后就成了“发光,闪耀,闪亮”(及物动词),同时也有“擦亮,让发光,变亮,闪闪发光”的意思,源自于 brunir,意为“擦亮,磨光,变亮,闪闪发光”,这个词的音序调换后就成了“棕色,光亮”的意思,源于弗兰克人或其他日耳曼语系(比较古高地日耳曼语 brun,古北欧语 brunn,“明亮的,光洁的,棕色的”),来自原始日耳曼语 *brunaz,源自于 PIE 词根 *bher-(2)“明亮的; 棕色的”。如果最初的意象是木制品,就可以解释与“棕色”有关的联系。使某物发光并擦拭至光泽的意义的形成始于14世纪末。相关词汇: Burnished; burnishing。
