📖 Etymology

Origin: Old French "bordure" — edge, boundary

First known use: 15th century

The term evolved from the Old French 'bordure' which meant boundary or edge. It was later adopted into Middle English, eventually leading to the modern English usage as both a noun and verb referring to lines separating areas.
