Resembling or characteristic of a boor; rude, crude, or uncouth in manner or behavior.
From Middle Low German 'gebuur' meaning farmer or peasant, combined with the English suffix '-ly.' Over time, it acquired negative connotations of rustic crudeness and lack of refinement.
The word 'boor' started as a neutral term for a farmer (especially in Dutch/German), but gradually English speakers used it as an insult—showing how language reflects social class prejudices!
