Etymology edit

Borrowed from Danish brød, from Old Norse brauð, from Proto-Germanic *braudą. Akin to English bread.

Pronunciation edit

    rista brød - toast (see also toast (Nynorsk))
    Synonyms: koke, kake

Usage notes edit

While the form brød was first brought to the language from Danish, the increased modern use in place of other words such as stump and koke / kake, is largely due to influence from Bokmål. In close to all dialects, braud would have been the natural form, cf. daud and sau(d).
