Origin of the word burning

The word "burning" comes from the Old English word "byrnende," meaning "burning" or "inflamed." It's formed from the verb "beornan," which means "to burn." "Beornan" itself has roots in the Proto-Germanic word "bernan," which shares a connection with the Proto-Indo-European word "bher-," meaning "to carry, bear, or bring forth." This connection highlights the idea that burning was initially associated with the intense heat and light brought forth by fire.
