Proto-Germanic

Etymology

    Disputed. Probably a conflation of Proto-Indo-European *bʰerw-, *bʰrewh₁- (“to boil, seethe”) (compare brew, broth) and Proto-Indo-European *bʰerH- (“to pierce; to strike”). According to Kroonen, however, derived from *brewwaną (“to brew”) directly, with a pre-form *bʰrowh₁-tó-s.[1]
