köken: From Middle High German borste, from Old High German borsta, bursta, from Proto-West Germanic *borstā, *burstā, an early stem variant of *bursti, whence German Bürste (“brush”), which compare. Both words originally meant “bristle”, the semantic distinction is a later development. Immediately cognate with Old Saxon bursta (also *borsta as evidenced by Westphalian Boarste, Buoste).

köken: From Old Anatolian Turkish [script needed] (yipek), from Proto-Turkic *yïpak (“silk”), probably a derivation of Proto-Turkic *yip (“thread”). Cognate with Turkish ipek, Turkmen ýüpek, Uzbek ipak, Kazakh жібек (jıbek), Kyrgyz жибек (jibek).
