In summary

The noun is derived from Middle English brem, brim, brimme (“bank, edge, or margin of a lake or river; shore of a sea; brink; rim”); further etymology uncertain, probably related to Middle High German brem, breme (“border, edge, brim”) and Old Norse barmr (“rim”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *bʰren- (“to project”).
The verb is derived from the noun.
