Bruyneren; infuscare, polire metalla. The Fr. Brunir, Junius says, is to make brown, (i. e. to give a burned colour. See BROWN and BRONZE.) Whence to burnish metal is to rub it till it has fuscum nitorem, till it is brown and bright. Skinner says, that Brunir, to polish (sc. armour) is, he believes, from the verb to burn, because arms carefully polished shine so intensely as to appear to burn. Gower and Chaucer write to burn. To burn or burnish (generally) is— To brighten or give brightness, to polish: to rub off the rust, to polish up for use: to be or become bright, splendid, conspicuous; to shine forth.
