    Both born and borne are forms of bear. Born is commonly used with the sense of bear meaning "to give birth." Borne is used in reference to carrying something (physically or figuratively), as a combining form with words like air, and, occasionally, in the "give birth to" sense. It's almost too cute to bear ●Borne: The cross was borne by Jesus as he walked to the hill. ●Born: She was born in a hospital.
