Etymology of BURGEON

The word burgeon comes from the Old French word bourjon, which itself evolved from the Middle French word bourgeon. This Middle French word derived from the Old French verb borjoindre, meaning to bud or to sprout. The Old French term further originated from the Vulgar Latin verb burrus, meaning red or reddish-brown, which referred to the color of a bud or shoot. Over time, the term bourgeon was adopted into English as burgeon, maintaining its meaning of to bud or to grow rapidly.
