Alternative reconstructions

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]

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

[edit]

*bròščь m

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