Appearance

[edit]
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.
