Etymology
Unknown origin; possibly of Gaulish origin (compare Catalan bri, Spanish brenca (“fiber”), brinza (“blade of grass, filament”)), from Proto-Celtic *brinikā, from *brinos (“filament, fiber”) (compare Breton broenenn, Welsh brwynen), from Proto-Indo-European *bʰrugh-no- (“twig”), perhaps related to the root of English brush. See: Catalan Nouns '
bri', Spanish Nouns '
brenca', English Nouns '
