Ancient Greek

Etymology

Resembles Proto-Indo-European *bʰrem- (“to make noise”), whence Latin fremō, Middle High German bremen, and obsolete English breme (“famous; tempestuous”). However, the change from PIE *bʰ to Greek /b/ (instead of the expected */pʰ/) would be unexplained. Thus, Beekes takes the word as an independent onomatopoeic formation.[1]

Not related to βρόμος (brómos, “oats”), which has been traditionally compared. The potential connection to βρῶμος (brômos, “stink, stench”), if any, is uncertain.
