Etymology

Apparently a corruption of {{bor, en, la, valdē bona, , very good}} (a plant mentioned in {{w, Leonhart Fuchs}}'s {{w, De_Historia_Stirpium_Commentarii_Insignes, Great Herbal}}). Earliest forms seem to come from an intermediate, unattested {{noncog, fr, -}} form , baudemoine (modern {{ncog, fr, baudremoine}}) and by analogy to the plant name agrimony.
