Noun

IPA: /bɜː(ɹ)bən/, /ˈbʊə(ɹ)bən/, /bɔː(ɹ)bən/ Audio: LL-Q1860 (eng)-Vealhurl-bourbon.wav , LL-Q1860 (eng)-Vealhurl-bourbon2.wav Forms: bourbons [plural]
Rhymes: -ɜː(ɹ)bən, -ʊə(ɹ)bən, -ɔː(ɹ)bən Etymology: From "bourbon whiskey", originally "Bourbon whiskey", of disputed provenance. Generally taken to derive from Bourbon County, Kentucky, but possibly also from Bourbon Street in New Orleans, Louisiana. Both derive from the French Bourbon dynasty, named for the lordship of French Bourbon l'Archambault. The town's name derives from Borvo, a local Celtic deity associated with hot springs, from Proto-Celtic *borvo (“froth, foam”), from Proto-Indo-European *bʰrewh₁- (“to be hot, boil”). See also Borvo.
