брюки

Borrowed from Dutch broek. First attested in the eighteenth century, but became more popular a hundred years later. Ultimately from Proto-Germanic *brōks, whence also English breeches, whence a doublet бри́джи (brídži). Further from Proto-Indo-European *bʰreg- (whence also English break, Latin frangō).
