Etymology

In Bukovina and Moldavia regions, the word borș is a synonym of the soup called ciorbă.[3] The etymology of burechiușe is not clear. If the burechițe derive their name from the Turkish[4] börek, so at the receiving end of cultural and culinary influences coming from them, or it takes its name from that of the mushroom boletus, burete in its rhotacized Romanian language version, by the pattern of the ravioli.
