[edit]Etymology
[edit]Uncertain. Per Trubachev, from an unattested *broskati + *-tь. Both i-stem and yo-stem declension are attested among descendants.
Based on semantic similarities, may reflect pre-Slavic *bro(z)gtь from the sparsely attested Proto-Slavic *brьzgati (“to burst”)/*bražiti (“to decompose, to disintegrate (for organic materials)”) + *-ťь, akin to East Slavic *braga (“pre-distilled alcohol mixture, must”). Possibly ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *bʰreHg- (“to stink”).
Noun
[edit]*bròščь m
- madder (Rubia tinctorum)
- (by extension) → rouge, ingredient for red dye
- Synonym: *marěna
- brightly colored cladding/welt (in embroidery)
Alternative forms
[edit]- *brožďь (with voiced *-šč-, dialectal)
