German
Etymology
From Middle High German bresten, from Old High German brestan, from Proto-Germanic *brestaną. The modern form is from Middle Low German with metathesis of -r- from Old Saxon brestan (compare Bernstein, Born). Cognate with Dutch barsten, English burst, Old Norse bresta (whence Danish briste, Norwegian Bokmål briste and Swedish brista).
Pronunciation
Verb
- (intransitive, chiefly literary) to burst
Usage notes
- The more general word is platzen.
- Bersten has a somewhat irregular 2nd person singular du birst, to avoid the regular but unpronounceable **birstst.
