Proto-Germanic

Etymology

Of uncertain origin; possibly from earlier *brezdą ~ *burzdnaz (“edge, board”) (whence also Old High German borto, Faroese breddi), from Proto-Indo-European *bʰérsdʰ-ō ~ *bʰr̥sdʰ-nés, from *bʰers- (“tip, edge”) +‎ *-dʰh₁eti (compare Sanskrit: भृस्ति (bhṛstí, “tip, edge”)).[1] Alternatively perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *bʰerHdʰ-[2], from *bʰerH- (“to strike, pierce; to work with sharp tools”) +‎ *-dʰh₁eti. Possible cognate with Proto-Slavic *bьrdo (“comb, reed”)[3].
