Proto-Germanic

Etymology

From Proto-Indo-European *bʰrews- (“breast; to swell”), which appears to be separate from *bʰrews- in the "break, burst" sense. Related to *brusts (“breast, chest”) as well as to the verb *brustijaną (“to sprout”). Cognate with Proto-Celtic *brusū (“belly; breast”), Proto-Slavic *břȗxo (“belly”),[1] as well as perhaps Proto-Slavic *brъstь (“bud”), Albanian brushtull (“ivy”) (< Proto-Albanian *brustula). (Can this(+) etymology be sourced?)
