briesen

Dutch

Etymology

From Middle Dutch brieschen, further etymology unknown, but probably related to other similar sounding words such as brallen (“to brag, boast”), brommen (“to mumble, mutter”), bruisen (“to froth, form bubbles”), brullen (“to cry, roar”). Perhaps ultimately related to Proto-Germanic *brekaną (“to break”).

Cognate with Middle Low German brêschen, Middle High German brieschen.
