Historical Dutch settler

BOER

Think of the Afrikaans-speaking farmers who migrated inland from the Cape Colony in the 18th and 19th centuries, often associated with ox wagons and conflicts in southern Africa.

The clue "Historical Dutch settler" points to "BOER," the term for Dutch, German, or Afrikaans farmers who migrated into southern Africa starting in the 17th century. The word comes from Dutch meaning "farmer" and is deeply tied to the history of South Africa and neighboring regions. It’s a direct reference with no wordplay—just a straightforward historical label for these settlers. You might also recognize it from terms like "Boer War," which highlights their role in colonial conflicts.
