For example, "borne" can have different meanings depending on the context:
* Carried or transported: "The ship bore the treasure across the ocean."
* Endured or tolerated: "She bore the pain with remarkable strength."
* Given birth to: "The queen bore a son and heir."
* Implied or suggested: "His words bore a hidden meaning."
Once you provide the excerpt, I can tell you the specific definition of "borne" in that context.
