# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/brauen

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry brauen. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ brauen, verb ‘to brew,’ from the equivalent Middle High German brûwen, briuwen, Old High German briuwan; compare the corresponding Old Icelandic brugga, Dutch brouwen, Anglo-Saxon breówan, English to brew. To the Old Teutonic root bru (from Aryan bhru- bhrĕw), ‘to brew,’ which may be inferred from these verbs, belongs Phrygian-Thracian βρῦτον, ‘beer, cider,’ which perhaps stands for Greek *φρῦτον, also Latin defrū̆tum, ‘must boiled down,’ Old Irish bruthe, ‘broth,’ bruth, ‘live coals, heat,’ bruith, ‘cooking.’ It is shown, moreover, under Brod that the meaning of the root bhru- was at one time more general; compare further brodeln. On account of the gutturals, Greek φρύγω, Latin frîgo, cannot be cognates. Compare also brodeln, Brod.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/brav

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry brav. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ brav, adjective, ‘excellent, manly, brave,’ Modern High German only, from French brave, the origin of which is not established (from Latin barbarus?).
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/braten

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry braten. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ braten, verb, ‘to roast, broil, fry,’ from the equivalent Middle High German brâten, Old High German brâtan; compare Dutch braden, Anglo-Saxon brœ̂dan, ‘to roast’; a Gothic strong verb *brêdan is to be assumed. The root may have been a pre-Teutonic bhrêdh or bhrêt; in support of the latter we may perhaps adduce Old High German brâdam, quoted under Brodem. Brüten (Gothic *brôdjan) might also be assigned to the same root. The pre-Teutonic bhrêdh is also indicated by Greek πρήθω (if it stands for φρήθω?), ‘to consume, set on fire’ (chiefly in combination with πυρί). See also Wildpret.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/brennen

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry brennen. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ brennen, verb, ‘to burn, scorch, sting, distill’; it combines the meanings of Middle High German brinnen, strong verb, ‘to burn, give light, shine, glow,’ and its factitive brennen, weak verb ‘to set fire to, cause to burn’; the former is Gothic, Old High German and Old Low German brinnan, ‘to burn’ (intransitive), the latter Gothic brannjan, ‘to set fire to.’ Compare Anglo-Saxon birnan (intransitive), bœrnan, bernan (transitive). English to burn, is transitive and intransitive, like the Modern High German word. Under Brand attention is called to the fact that only one n of the Gothic verb. brinnan belongs to the root; the second n is a suffix of the present tense (compare also ​rinnen, rennen); the form with simple n is seen in Anglo-Saxon bryne, ‘conflagration’ (from bruni). A root bren-, pre-Teutonic bhren, with the meaning ‘to burn,’ has not yet been authenticated in the other Aryan languages.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/braun

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry braun. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ braun, adjective, ‘brown,’ from Middle High German brûn, ‘brown, dark-coloured, shining, sparkling,’ Old High German brûn; compare the corresponding Dutch bruin, Anglo-Saxon brûn, English brown, Old Icelandic brúnn. This Teutonic term passed into Romance (compare the cognates of Italian bruno, French brun; see Blond); hence also Lithuanian brunas, ‘brown.’ The proper stem of Aryan bhr-ûna-, appears in Lithuanian beras, ‘brown’ (compare Bär), and reduplicated in Old Indian babhrú-s, ‘reddish brown, bay’ (this form of the adjective being apparently a common Aryan term for a brownish mammal living in water; compare Biber); hence it may be right to assign Greek φρύνη, φρῦνος, ‘toad,’ to this root. Respecting Braun as a name for the bear, see Bär. —
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/brausen

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry brausen. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ brausen, verb, ‘to roar, bluster,’ from the equivalent Middle High German; compare Dutch bruisen, ‘to bluster,’ from bruis, ‘foam, froth’; to this Brause, feminine, ‘watering-pot,’ also belongs.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/breit

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry breit. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ breit, adjective, ‘broad, wide,’ from the equivalent Middle High German and Old High German breit; it corresponds to Old Saxon brêd, Dutch breed, Anglo-Saxon brâd, English broad, Gothic braiþs, ‘broad.’ Probably from pre-Teutonic mraitó-, akin to the root mrit preserved in Sanscrit, ‘to fall to pieces’ (properly ‘to extend’?).
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/brauchen

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry brauchen. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ brauchen, verb, ‘to use, need, want, require,’ from the equivalent Middle High German brûchen, Old High German brûhhan; compare the corresponding Anglo-Saxon brûcan, ‘to enjoy,’ also ‘to digest, tolerate,’ English to brook; Gothic *brûkjan, ‘to use, enjoy.’ Not found originally in Scandinavian. The pre-Teutonic form of the root bhrū̆g accords with Latin fruor, which originated in *fruvor for *frugvor; the Latin participle fructus, which phonetically is identical with gebraucht and Gothic brûhts, shows the final guttural of the root, and so does Latin fruges, &c. The following are Teutonic noun forms from the root brûk (bhrûg): Modern High German Brauch, masculine (compare Old High German brûh), Gothic brûks, Anglo-Saxon brŷce, Old High German brûchi, ‘serviceable, useful.’
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/brenzeln

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry brenzeln. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ brenzeln, verb, ‘to taste burnt,’ first occurs in Modern High German a frequentative form of brennen.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/brechen

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry brechen. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ brechen, verb, ‘to break,’ from the equivalent Middle High German brëchen, Old High German brëhhan; compare the corresponding Gothic brikan, Old Low German and Anglo-Saxon brecan, English to break, Dutch breken, ‘to break.’ From a root brek common to Teutonic, which is derived from pre-Teutonic bhreg; compare Latin frangere, the nasal of which is wanting in frêg-i. The Modern High German Brachfeld, Bruch, Brocken, are formed by gradation from the same root.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Zwerch-

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Zwerch- | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Zwerch-, ‘athwart, across,’ in compounds such as Zwerchfell, ‘diaphragm,’ Zwerchpfeife, ‘life,’ Zwerchsack, ‘knapsack, wallet,’ from MidHG. twërch, dwërch (also quërch), adj., ‘oblique, reversed, athwart,’ HG. dwërah, twërh, ‘oblique, athwart.’ Corresponding to AS. þweorh, ‘perverse,’ Goth. þwaírhs, ‘angry’ (þwaírhei, f., ‘anger, dispute’), Du. dwars, Dan. tvœrs, tvœrt, ‘athwart.’ With these is also connected ModHG. überzwerch, adj. and adv., ‘across, athwart, crosswise’ (MidHG. über twërch, über zwërch). The same Aryan root tverk appears also perhaps in AS. þurh, ‘through’ (see durch). Beside twërh, the MidHG. and OHG. variant twër, ‘oblique, athwart,’ occurs (in MidHG. also quër; see quer), OIc. þverr, ‘athwart, impeding.’ Teut. þwerhwo- points to an Aryan root twerk, with which Lat. torqueo is connected.

# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Zwerg

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Zwerg | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Zwerg, m., ‘dwarf, pigmy,’ from the equiv. MidHG. twërc(g), getwërc (also querch, zwërch), OHG. twërg, m.; a common Teut. word. Comp. Du. dwerg, AS. dweorh, E. dwarf, OIc. dvergr, m., Swed. and Dan. dverg. The Teut. base is dwergo-, which is perhaps also connected with the Teut. root drug, ‘to deceive’; hence Zwerg means lit. ‘phantom, illusion’?.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Zwetsche

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Zwetsche | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Zwetsche, Quetsche, f., ‘damson’; ModHG. only; a difficult word to explain. Bav. zwèšen, zwèšpen, Swiss zwetške, Austr. zwespen, Thur. and East MidG. quatšge, seem to be related like quer and Zwerch, quängeln and zwingen, so that we must perhaps assume ​an initial tw. Since damsons were orig. obtained from Damascus (the Crusaders are said to have introduced them into Europe; comp. E. damask plum, damascene, damson, Ital. amascino, Portug. ameixa), it seems probable that the Teut. cognates (Bav. zwèschen) are derived from MidLat. damascena or Gr. δαμάσκηνον through the intermediate forms dmaskîn, dwaskîn, which appear in Transylvanian maschen, mäschen. Yet the phonological relations of the numerous dialectic forms are so indistinct that a final solution of all the difficulties has not yet been found. From HG. are derived Du. kwets, Dan. svedske, Boh. švetska.

​ Zweifalter, m., ‘butterfly,’ from the equiv. MidHG. zwîvalter, m., corrupted from MidHG. vîvalter, OHG. fîfaltra, ‘butterfly.’ See Falter and Schmetterling.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Zweifel

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Zweifel | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Zweifel, m., ‘doubt, uncertainty,’ from MidHG. zwîvel, m., ‘uncertainty, distrust, fickleness, perfidy, despair,’ OHG. zwîfal, m., ‘uncertainty, apprehension, despair,’ Comp. Goth. tweifls, m., ‘doubt,’ OSax. twîfal, Du. twijfel. The following forms also occur, OHG. zwîfo, zwëho, m., ‘doubt’ (equiv. to OSax. twëho, AS. tweó, ‘doubt’), and OIc. týja (base twiwjôn), ‘doubt.’ All are based on a pre-Teut. dweiq (dwī̆p), ‘to doubt.’ — Allied to zweifeln, vb., ‘to doubt, suspect,’ from MidHG. zwîvelen, OHG. zwîfalôn, ‘to waver, doubt’; comp. OSax. twîflôn, ‘to waver,’ Dan. tvivle, Du. twijfelen, ‘to doubt.’ These cognates are unquestionably connected with zwei (comp. Gr. δοιή, ‘doubt,’ Sans. dvayá, ‘falseness’); the formation of the noun is, however, not clear (see Zweig and zwie-).
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Zweig

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Zweig | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Zweig, m., ‘branch, bough, twig,’ from the equiv. MidHG. zwîc (-ges), n. and m., OHG. zwîg, m.; corresponding to AS. twĭg, E. twig, Du. twijg; also in MidHG. and OHG. zwî (gen. zwîes), n. The g is probably evolved from j, and zwî, gen. zwĭges, may be traced back to a nom. zwîg. The AS. form twĭg is implied by the acc. plur. twĭgu (twiggu). Yet the primary forms cannot be ascertained with certainty, hence it is not quite clear how Zweig is connected with the numeral zwei (Zweig, Ut. ‘a division into two parts’?).

​ Zwiebel, f. (Swiss zidele, Bav. zwifel, Thuring. zippel), ‘onion, bulb,’ from the equiv. MidHG. zwibolle, zibolle (with the variants zwippel, zwifel, zibel, zebulle), m. OHG. zwibollo, zwivolle, m. A corruption of Lat. caepulla, ‘onion,’ whence also the Rom. words, Ital. cipolla, Fr. ciboule; Dan. swible has been adopted from Ger. The genuine G. word for Zwiebel is Bolle (properly ‘bulb, ball’), on which MidHG. zwibolle was based. The E. word bulb is derived from the Lat. bulbus (Gr. βολβόρ), ‘bulb, onion.’

​ binden, vb., ‘to tie, bind,’ from MidHG. binden, OHG. bintan, corresponds to OSax. and AS. bindan, E. to bind, Goth. bindan; the meaning does not change, hence it was the same in primit. Teut. as in ModHG. and Eng. The pre-Teut. form of the root must have been bhendh; comp. the corresponding Sans. root bandh, ‘to chain, fasten’; Lat. (with f for bh initially) offendimentum, ‘bond, cable’; Gr. πεῖσμα for *πένθσμα, ‘bond,’ also ‘father-in-law,’ as well as Sans. bándhu, ‘a relative.’ In Teut. numerous forms are derived by gradation from the same root (e.g. Band, E. bond, bend). Ital. benda, ‘bandage,’ bendare, ‘to bind up,’ are borrowed.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/bitten

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/bitten | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ bitten, vb., ‘to beg, entreat, invite,’ from the equiv. MidHG. and OHG. bitten (from bitjan, bidjan); it is a str. vb. of the class e—a—â—e. Comp. Goth. bidjan, baþ, bêdum, bidans; AS. biddan; in E. to bid, both bieten and bitten appear; E. to beg, from AS. bedecian (Goth. *bidaqôn? comp. Teut. and Goth. *bidaqa, ‘beggar’). The str. vb. belonged originally to the i class (Goth. bidja, *baiþ, *bidum, bidans might therefore be conjectured); a trace of this gradation is shown further by the factitive Goth. baidjan, AS. bœ̂dan, OHG. beiten, with the meaning ‘to order, demand, compel.’ The root bheidh, bhidh, accords with Gr. πιθ (for φιθ, according to the well-known rule), πείθω, ‘to induce by entreaties, get by asking, persuade, convince’; to this belongs also Lat. fîdo (equiv. to the Gr. Mid. Voice πείθομαι), ‘to rely on a person.’ With this meaning an OTeut. bîdan, ‘to await, wait with full confidence’ (Goth. beidan, OHG. bîtan, AS. bîdan, E. to bide), has been connected. The Germ. noun Bitte is OHG. bita, most frequently bëta, Goth. bida. See beten, Gebet.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/bitter

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/bitter | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ bitter, adj., ‘bitter,’ from the equiv. MidHG. bitter, OHG. bittar. This t, since it comes before r, represents the t common to the Teut. cognates; before r the permutation of t to ȥ, tz does not take place (comp. Eiter, lauter, zittern); OLG. bittar, AS. bittor, biter, E. and Du. bitter; hence we should have expected Goth. *bĭtrs, for which a form with a remarkable ái, baitrs, ‘bitter,’ occurs. The word is undoubtedly cognate with beißen (root bit, inf. bîtan); the adj. properly signifies ‘pricking, sharp,’ being now, like beißen, restricted to the taste. For other cognates comp. beißen.

​ Stoppel, f., ‘stubble,’ properly a MidG. and LG. form; in genuine HG. we have UpG. štupfel, from MidHG. stupfel, OHG. stupfila, f.; comp. the equiv. Du. stoppel, E. stubble, and OSwed. stubb. Whether the cognates are borrowed from Lat. stipula (late Lat. stupila, equiv. to Ital. stoppio, Fr. étouble, ‘stubble’) is uncertain; nor has it been decided what connection there is between the Teut. word and its non-Teut. representatives (such as OSlov. stĭblo, ‘stubble’). On the other hand, the root syllable of Stoppel with that of stopfen may point to Aryan stup, ‘to prick, pierce,’ or rather it may with OIc. stúpa, ‘to project’ (to which E. steeple, from steep, is allied), be traced back to primary meaning, ‘to stand out rigid, jut, project.’ It might also be connected with the nasalised cognates of Stump, which, with Swiss stṻbes, E. stub, and OIc. stúfr, stúfe, ‘stump,’ presume a Teut. root stū̆p, stū̆b, ‘to hew off.’

The cognates are specifically HG. (whence Du. straf), and are wanting in the other Teut. dialects. The late appearance of the word does not prove that it was borrowed.
