Werner herzog spelling bourgeoisie: I do not respect the french language
-
in dutch burger means citizen
-
It’s because all those words have the same root:
- Either from the Proto-West Germanic "burg", which means fortification/fortified town (maybe goes even back further to the Proto-Germanic "burgz")
- or possibly the Ancient-Greek word "pýrgos", which was a tower fort
- or maybe something else. Proto-Celtic or if we go way back: the Proto-Indo-European bʰergʰ- "to protect"
There’s a lot of speculation involved to where exactly the roots are, but in the end it all means a small castle or fortified town in which the "burger" lived.

i can make it to 'borg' until i have to think really hard and then google the answer. the rest is some sort of vowel diarrhea that defies any attempt to recall it correctly

how did we get stuck at this ridiculous word? why are we using the raw uncooked french word? what's wrong with "burghers"? or anything, really.

Its a remnant when french was the prestige language of european academia and higher thought. Burghery also sounds strange.
