Word Origin
- braise
- braise: [18] Braise has a wide range of rather surprising living relatives. Its immediate source is French braiser, a derivative of braise ‘live coals’ (from which English gets brazier [17] and the breeze of breezeblock). In Old French this was brese, a borrowing from Germanic *brasa, which came from the same base as produced German braten ‘roast’ (as in bratwurst) and Old English brǣdan ‘roast’. The ultimate source of this base was Indo-European *bhrē- ‘burn, heat’, which produced such other diverse offspring as English breath, breed, brood, and probably brawn.=> brawn, brazier, breath, breed, brood
- braise (v.)
- 1797, from French braiser "to stew" (17c.), from braise "live coals," from Old French brese "embers" (12c.), ultimately from West Germanic *brasa (as is Italian bragia, Spanish brasa), from PIE *bhre- "burn, heat" (see brawn). Related: Braised; braising.
