The article connects the Roman word burino to burra ‘bure, plow rudder’, with the addition of the suffix -ino typical of several nomina agentis. Moreover, as regards buzzurro, it analyses some etymological hypotheses, according to which the word would either be a backformation from buzzurrone, an allotrope of buggerone ‘sodomite’, or linked to northern Italian forms such as buzur ‘buzz’, bruzur ‘burn’.File in questo prodotto:
