Old Irish edit
Etymology edit
From Proto-Celtic *brugnos (“sadness, pain”)[1] (also reconstructible as *bruginos, *broginos, *brognos),[2] of uncertain further origin. Possibly from Proto-Indo-European *gʷruHǵʰ-nó-, from the root *gʷrewHǵʰ- (“to bite”) + *-nós, though the laryngeal makes this problematic; alternatively from *bʰreg- (“to break”) or another root.
