### Etymology 1

From Middle Dutch bure, from Old Dutch *būr, from Proto-Germanic *būraz (“dweller, inhabitant”), thus originally the same as modern buur (“neighbour”). The form boer is that of many eastern dialects including Limburgish, where Germanic -ū- has been retained as a back vowel. In early modern Dutch these two dialectal forms were adopted as semantically distinguished words. Cognate to Old English būr, ġebūr (whence English bower) and Old High German būr (whence German Bauer).

#### Noun

    Hyponyms: landbouwer, teler, tuinder, veehouder
* a boor, yokel, ruffian, rustic
    Synonym: boerenpummel
* (in compounds) a merchant (and sometimes producer) of a certain product group, mainly foods, often named after it, e.g. melkboer 'milkman', groenteboer '(male) greengrocer'
* a jack (playing card)

Originally onomatopoeic, as is English burp. The perception of farmers (etymology 1) as being mannerless people has probably played a secondary role, too. The same in German Bäuerchen.
