brake
Etimologie (Engels)
Unknown. It is a word only from the late 19ᵗʰ century (then also with a variant فَرْمِيلَة (farmīla)), originating and still spread in the dialects of Egypt, the Sudan and Chad. The east uses بْرَِيك (brēk), the lands west and Mandate Syria the French frein, so it is perhaps from its Ottoman Turkish derivative frenlemek (“to brake”), the verb coming first, but Italian fermare fits too.
