Proto-West Germanic[edit]

Etymology[edit]

Uncertain; presumably related *beustr, *breustr (whence Old High German biastr (“beestings”)), suggested to be dissimilated from Proto-Germanic *breustaz[1] (whence Icelandic ábrystir pl (“dish made from beestings”)), and possibly either derived from Proto-Indo-European *bʰrews- (“to swell”), or further connected to Proto-Iranian *frušáh (“beestings”)[2], both perhaps borrowed from a substrate language[3].
