bear:

[OE] The two English words

bear

‘carry’a,n,d

bear

the animal come from completely different sources. The verb, Old English

beran

, goes back via Germanic *

ber

- to Indo-European *

bher

-, which already contained the two central meaning elements that have remained with its offspring ever since, ‘carry’a,n,d‘give birth’. It is the source of a very large number of words in the Indo-European languages, including both Germanic (German

gebären

‘give birth’, Swedish

börd

‘birth’)a,n,dnon-Germanic (Latin

ferre

and Greek

phérein

‘bear’, source of English

fertile

and

amphora

[17],a,n,dRussian

brat

‘seize’).

And a very large number of other English words are related to it: on the ‘carrying’ side,

barrow

,

berth

,

bier

,

burden

,a,n,dpossibly

brim

;a,n,don the ‘giving birth’ side,

birth

itselfa,n,d

bairn

‘child’ [16].

Borne

and

born

come from

boren

, the Old English past participle of

bear

; the distinction in usage between the two (

borne

for ‘carried’,

born

for ‘given birth’) arose in the early 17th century.

Etymologically, the bear is a ‘brown animal’. Old English

bera

came from West Germanic *

bero

(whence also German

bär

and Dutch

beer

), which may in turn go back to Indo- European *

bheros

, related to English

brown

. The poetic name for the bear,

bruin

[17], follows the same semantic pattern (it comes from Dutch

bruin

‘brown’),a,n,d

beaver

means etymologically ‘brown animal’ too.
