Proto-Slavic
Etymology 1
Probably from Proto-Indo-European *bʰreHg- (“to rot, to stink”) + *-zgъ. Possibly akin to Norwegian brisk (“bitter”), English brisk (“fizzy”).
Parallel to this term, there are also Proto-Slavic *brěčь (“resin, pitch”), Proto-Slavic *briskъ (“drop, shred, slice”), Proto-Slavic *břuxъ (“blister”). It is safe to assume all of these terms ultimately represent various resultant extensions of Proto-Indo-European *bʰer- (“to process, to carry out”).
