Proto-Slavic
Etymology
Of unclear origin, possibly polygenetic. Proposed etymologies:
- From Proto-Indo-European *bʰrewk-, based on the alternation between *brъkati (0-grade), *brykati (enlonged grade), *brukati (o-grade). Cognate with Lithuanian brùkti, braũkti (“to shove, to thrush”) and Latvian bràukt (“to ride”) (originally: to stroke).
- Per Derksen, Doublet of *brъsati, *brysati (“to sweep, to smack”) from Proto-Indo-European *bʰrewḱ-.
- Of onomatopoeic origin + *-kati, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *bʰrew- (“to brew, to disrupt”). Akin to *brujati (“to rustle”).
Compare also Proto-Slavic *bъrkati (“to trim, to croр (feathers); to poke; to wrinkle”).
