Proto-Slavic

Alternative reconstructions

Etymology

Uncertain. Per Trubachev, from an unattested *broskati +‎ *-tь. Both i-stem and yo-stem declension are attested among descendants.

Based on semantic similarities, may reflect pre-Slavic *bro(z)gtь from the sparsely attested Proto-Slavic *brьzgati (“to burst”)/*bražiti (“to decompose, to disintegrate (for organic materials)”) + *-ťь, akin to East Slavic *braga (“pre-distilled alcohol mixture, must”). Possibly ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *bʰreHg- (“to stink”).

Noun

*bròščь m

  1. madder (Rubia tinctorum)
    (by extension) → rouge, ingredient for red dye
    Synonym: *marěna
  2. brightly colored cladding/welt (in embroidery)
