Etymology
From Proto-Indo-Aryan *br̥źʰánt, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *bʰr̥ȷ́ʰánt, from Proto-Indo-European *bʰérǵʰonts (“high”), a derivation of *bʰerǵʰ- (“to rise”), with cognates including Persian بالا (bālā, “height”) and بلند (boland, buland, “high, tall”), Old Armenian բարձր (barjr, “high”), Tocharian A pärkär (“long”) and Old English burg (English borough).
The corresponding verbal Proto-Indo-European root *bʰerǵʰ- (“to become high, rise, elevate”) also gave Sanskrit बृंहति (bṛṃhati, “to make strong, make lofty, firm”) and ब्राह्मण (brāhmaṇa, “Brahma”).
