Etymology
From Danish borg, from Old Norse borg, from Proto-Germanic *burgz (“stronghold, city”), from Proto-Indo-European *bʰerǵʰ- (“fort”). Inherited with masculine declension from Danish, the optional feminine declension was later borrowed from Nynorsk. See: Danish Nouns '
borg', Old Norse Nouns '
borg'.
