A variant or alternative spelling of burr; a prickly seedcase or flower head that sticks to clothing or animal fur.
An alternative spelling of burr, derived from Old Norse burr (hairiness, roughness). This variant reflects historical spelling inconsistencies before modern standardization.
Burrs evolved to stick to animals to spread seeds—they're so effective that Swiss inventor George de Mestral literally invented Velcro by studying how burrs cling to his dog's fur.
