Buuscht

Luxembourgish

Etymology

From Middle High German burst, burste, from Proto-West Germanic *bursti and/or its stem variant *burstā, both originally meaning “bristle”. Compare German Bürste and Borste respectively. The first corresponds to Luxembourgish Biischt (“brush, broom”), while Buuscht could continue either etymon.
