Etymology

Compound of बृहस् (bṛhas, genitive singular of बृह् (bṛh, prayer; devotion)) +‎ पति (páti, lord). The origin of the first element stems from Proto-Indo-European *bʰerǵʰ- (to rise up), with the original meaning being "to increase, enlarge, grow"; it went through a semantic shift from "to increase" > "to encompass" > "the encompassing one" > "the divine" > "praying, devotion (to the divine)".
