Etymology
From Old Galician-Portuguese borõa, of uncertain origin. Possibly from Gothic *𐌱𐍂𐌰𐌿𐌸 (*brauþ, “bread”), from Proto-Germanic *braudą (“cooked food, leavened bread”). Alternatively, perhaps from Paleo-Hispanic. See that entry for more. Compare Galician broa. See: Old Portuguese Nouns '
borõa', Galician Nouns '
