Boršt (pronounced [ˈbɔɾʃt], German: Worst[2]) is a former village in southeastern Slovenia in the Municipality of Novo Mesto. It is now part of the village of Daljni Vrh.[3] It is part of the traditional region of Lower Carniola and is now included in the Southeast Slovenia Statistical Region.

Geography

Boršt stands east of the village center of Daljni Vrh on a small stony hill.[1] Strmec Hill (elevation: 384 meters or 1,260 feet) rises to the northeast, and Bršljin Creek (Slovene: Bršljinski potok), a tributary of the Krka River, flows through the valley to the southwest.

Name

Boršt was attested in historical sources as Vorst in 1350 and Varst in 1459.[4] The name Boršt is a relatively frequent name for settlements, regions, and hills in Slovenia. It is derived from the common noun boršt 'woods, forest', borrowed from Middle High German for(e)st 'woods, forest'.[5]

Boršt had a population of 14 in three houses in 1870,[6] 16 in three houses in 1880,[7] 20 in three houses in 1900,[2] and 17 in three houses in 1931.[1] Boršt was annexed by the village of Daljni Vrh in 1953, ending its existence as an independent settlement.[8][9]
