The ultimate origin of this root would be uncertain, but possibly from Proto-Indo-European *bʰars-, from or related to *bʰers- (“tip, bristle; pointy, prickly”), which would make it related to Welsh bara (“bread”). Compare Old Irish arbor n (“grain, corn”), which is instead from Proto-Celtic *arwar (“grain”). For alternative etymologies, see the apparent cognates Asturian boroña, Old Galician-Portuguese borõa and, descended from this, Galician broa, which have all been said to possibly be from Germanic instead. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /boˈɾona/ [boˈɾo.na] Rhymes: -ona Syllabification: bo‧ro‧na === Noun === borona f (plural boronas) millet Synonym: mijo maize; corn Synonym: maíz corn bread (Latin America) crumb Synonym: migaja === References === === Further reading === “borona”, in Diccionario de la lengua española [Dictionary of the Spanish Language] (in Spanish), online version 23.8.1, Royal Spanish Academy [Spanish: Real Academia Española], 15 December 2025
