Annotations
editEtymology: from French, originally "top surface of a military rampart," from a garbled attempt to adopt M.Du. bolwerc "wall of a fortification" into French, which lacks a -w-. The original notion is of a promenade laid out atop demolished city walls, which would be much wider than urban streets. Originally in English with conscious echoes of Paris; since 1929, in U.S., used of multi-lane limited-access urban highways.
