bergandern.

Forms: 1600s burgander, brigander, 1600s–1700s birgander, 1700s bergender, 1500s– bargander, bergander.

Etymology: Of uncertain derivation: perhaps < Middle English berȝ shelter, burrow (see berry n.²; and compare bergh , berghman , berman , barman ) + gander n.: compare the synonyms burrow-duck, Danish grav-gaas. The word has however a curious resemblance to the North Frisian name barg-aand (Borkum), Dutch berg-eend, German bergente ‘mountain-duck,’ the analysis of which is of course altogether different.Previous versions of the OED give the stress as: ˌberˈgander.

Ornithology. Obsolete or ? dialect.

An old name (apparently persisting longest on the Northumbrian coast) of the Sheldrake, Tadorna vulpanser (Leach), a bird related to the duck and goose, which inhabits the seashore and breeds in rabbit-holes or burrows, whence also called by some authors burrow-duck.
