Ετυμολογία (Αγγλικός)

Κληρονομήθηκε από Μέσα Άνω Γερμανικά: broʒ

In summary

Perhaps from regional terms for toad, from Middle High German broʒʒen (“to swell”), just as braggarts inflate themselves with their pride and ego. Further origin is uncertain; speculative connections have been made to Proto-Indo-European *bʰrews- (“to swell”), whence Proto-Germanic *breustą (“breast, chest”).
