Etymology
Uncertain. Hypotheses include:
- From *breh- (“to flash, move quickly”), from Proto-Indo-European *bʰreḱ-, *bʰreǵ- (“to shine, shimmer”). This etymology is incomplete. You can help Wiktionary by elaborating on the origins of this term.
- Ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *mrekʷ- or *mregʷ- (“to shimmer”). If so, then cognate with Lithuanian mirkčioti (“to blink, flicker, wink, twinkle, shimmer, sparkle”), Russian морга́ть (morgátʹ, “to blink, wink”).
