Original sentence: A few words and phrases in standard English are derived from Afrikaans, such as "trek", "boorish", "veld", "spoor", "braai", and, of course, "apartheid"
Edited sentence: A few words and phrases in standard English are derived from Afrikaans, such as trek and boorish, which originally was a derisive comparison to the supposed ill manners of the Boers.Etymologically, "boor" and "boer" are utterly unrelated.Other common Afrikaans words that have found their way into English are "veld", "spoor", "braai", and, of course, "apartheid".The OED gives the first known use of the word "boor" meaning "rude and ill-bred" in 1598.The etymology of "boor" given above is incorrect and offensive.This is half a century before the foundation of the first Dutch settlement in South Africa in 1652, and 2 centuries before Afrikaans or Afrikaners came into existence
