Debated. Documented as burgana in Medieval Latin local documents. Either from Vulgar Latin, or from a pre-Roman substrate of Iberia, from Proto-Indo-European *bʰrewh₁- (“to boil”).

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /ˈbuɾɣa̝/

Noun

burga f (plural burgas)

Usage notes

Whilst toponomy shows that once this word was in use in most of Galicia, today it is mostly reduced to name the hot springs of the city of Ourense.
