The Borg Are Not Swedish

cyborg (n.) A human who has certain physiological processes aided or controlled by mechanical or electronic devices.
Source: American Heritage Dictionary ( via Ask.com)
Cybernetic + Organism
CYB + ORG = cyborg

So, alas the "Borg" has no etymological connection to anything Scandinavian.
