Etymology 2
From Middle Low German brēmse, borrowed from Old Saxon brimissa, from *brummōn, from Proto-West Germanic *brummōn (“to buzz, drone”).
This form superseded High German Breme (now archaic), from Middle High German breme, from Old High German brema. The form brimissa did exist in Old High German, but both the phonetic development and the attestations prove that it is not the direct source of the modern word.
