Etymology

[edit]

From a surface analysis, feminine form of bräde (compare Norwegian Nynorsk bræde m, bræda f), from Old Swedish brædha, suggesting an earlier form akin to *bræða, ultimately from Proto-Germanic *bredą (board, plank, shelf), an e-grade byform of *burdą (board, plank), Swedish bord. Presumably from Middle Low German bret and Old Saxon bret, which's declension has bred-. Doublet of brätte, brädd (brimh), related to bred (broad).

An Old Norse ancestor is possible. Compare Danish bræde, brædde to bræt, Norwegian Nynorsk bræde m, bræda f. Cognates includes: German Brett, Dutch berd, bred.
