BOURNE (southern form of burn, Teutonic born, bran, burna)

This article appears in Volume V04, Page 333 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BOS-BRI
BOURNE (southern form of burn, Teutonic born, bran, burna) , an intermittent stream frequent in
chalk
  and limestone country where the
rock
  becomes saturated with winter rain, that slowly drains away until the
rock
  becomes dry, when the stream ceases. A heavy rainfall will cause streams to run in winter from the saturated soil. These are the winter bournes that have given name to several settlements upon
Salisbury
  Plain, such as
Winterbourne Gunning. The " bourne " may also be a permanent " burn," but the word is usually applied to an intermittent stream. (2) (From the Fr. borne), a boundary; the first use of the word in
English
  is in Lord
Ferrers
 '
translation
  of
Forrest
 , 1523; the figurative meaning of limit, end or final destination comes from Shakespeare's Hamlet, " the undiscovered country, from whose bourne no traveller returns."
