Etymology

The term 'burrower' originated from the verb 'burrow', which dates back to the early 16th century. It is derived from the Middle English word 'borowen', meaning to make a hole in the ground. The concept of burrowing has been observed in various animals for centuries, leading to the adaptation of the term to describe both animals and people who dig or excavate underground.
