Ever been wondering about the etymology of the word itself?
It can be broken down into two Old Norse root words: the first being áss, and the second being bǫrgr. The first one, áss, is perhaps more familiar in its plural form, æsir, and means "god" (more specifically, of the Æsir house only), while bǫrgr (not to be confused with borg, "fortified town") means a castrated boar.
