In summary

Recorded since 1748. Named after Brussels, where they were cultivated in the current form perhaps as early as the 13th c. Sprout is from Old English sprūtan (in asprutan (“to sprout”); cognate with Old Saxon sprutan, Old Frisian spruta, Middle Dutch spruten, modern Dutch spruit (“sprout; Brussels sprout”), Old High German spriozan, German sprießen (“to sprout”), from Proto-Germanic *spreutaną, from Proto-Indo-European *sper- (“to strew”).
