Etymology edit

Compound of बृहस् (bṛhas, genitive singular of बृह् (bṛh, prayer; devotion)) +‎ पति (páti, lord, master). The origin of the first element is uncertain, but it probably stems from Proto-Indo-Aryan *bʰŕ̥źʰ, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *bʰŕ̥ȷ́ʰ, from Proto-Indo-European *bʰerǵʰ- (to rise, elevate), with original meaning "to increase, enlarge, grow"; similar to ब्रह्मन् (brahman), it went through a semantic shift from "to increase" > "to encompass" > "the encompassing one" > "the divine" > "praying, devotion (to the divine)".
