бриз

Borrowed from some Western European language, most likely from English breeze. Further etymology unknown.

Initially attested in 1718 in form бри́зами (brízami) in the context of names of different kinds of winds in Portugal. This instrumental plural form is likely not from modern spelling бриз m (briz), but from an exact rendering of Portuguese brisa, which would be *бриза f (*briza) (both have identical case forms in plural).

Judging by the lack of further attestations in the 18th century, the term didn't settle in the language until 19th century (and from a different source).
