bozgor

Romanian

Etymology

Unknown. Perhaps derives from the Hungarian bocskor, meaning a certain soleless footwear used by Balkanic shepherds, in Romanian called opincă. According to folk etymology, it originally meant "man without a country" in Hungarian, but this is almost certainly not true. Hungarians on the other hand believe the word may have instead come from Romanian or Slavic. Another less likely theory suggests the verb boscorodi (“to grumble, murmur”).

The word could also originate from Turkic bozkır meaning "steppe".

Other theories linked it with the ethnic term Bashkir, or with the Slavic expression *bez gõrdъ (“without city, nomad”).
