Etymology 1

Uncertain. Possibly cognate with Proto-Slavic *buřa (cf. Russian буря (burja, storm)) and Sanskrit भुरति (bhurati, to palpitate, quiver), which would point to Proto-Indo-European *bʰur-.[1] Other proposed Proto-Indo-European origins include *dʰewh₂- (to smoke)[2] and *dʰewH- (to shake; to rumble, roar).

      “‘Nāte, quis indomitās tantus dolor excitat īrās?
      Quid furis? Aut quōnam nostrī tibi cūra recessit?’”
      “‘[My] son, what grief excites such untamed anger? Why [is it] you are raving? Or your care for me, where has it gone?’”
      (Venus intervenes just as Aeneas reaches for his sword.)
