Etimologija (Anglų k.)

Paveldėta iš Vidurio Anglijos: brom

Paveldėta iš senoji anglų: brōm

Sutampa su Saterlendo fryzų: Brom

Sutampa su vakarų fryzų: brem

Sutampa su olandų: braam

In summary

Inherited from Middle English brom, from Old English brōm (“brushwood”), from Proto-West Germanic *brām (“bramble”) (compare Saterland Frisian Brom, West Frisian brem, Dutch braam, German Low German Braam), from Proto-Indo-European *bʰrem-, from *bʰer- ‘edge’. Related to brim, brink.
(shotgun): So called because it is (like the cleaning utensil) long and held similarly to a besom and “cleans” what is in front.
