CLUMBURGH is een samentrekking van de volgende woorden: CLUMBER en BURGH
Burgh definition, A chartered town or borough in Scotland.
Burgh (teutonic), a fortified place, a town.
burgher
1568, "freeman of a burgh," from M.Du. burgher, from M.H.G. burger, from O.H.G. burgari "inhabitant of a
fortress," from burg "fortress, citadel" (see borough).
borough
O.E. burg, burh "castle, manor house, fortified place" (related to beorg "hill"), from P.Gmc. *burgs "fortress"
(cf. O.N. borg "wall, castle," Ger. Burg "castle," Goth. baurgs "city"), from PIE *bhrgh "high," with derivatives referring to hills,
hill forts, fortified elevations (cf. Welsh bera "stack, pyramid," Skt. bhrant-, Avestan brzant- "high," Gk. Pergamos,
name of the citadel of Troy). In Ger. and O.N., chiefly as "fortress, castle;" in Goth. "town, civic community." Meaning shifted M.E. from
"fortress," to "fortified town," to simply "town"
(especially one possessing municipal organization or sending representatives to Parliament).
In U.S. (originally Pennsylvania, 1718) often an incorporated town; in Alaska, however, it is the equivalent of a county.
The Scot. form is burgh. The O.E. dative singular byrig is found in many place names as -bury.
