/brɪl/

Etymologia (Angielski)

From Middle Dutch beril (“beryl”), from Latin beryllus (“beryl”), from Ancient Greek βήρυλλος (bḗrullos), from Prakrit [Term?] (compare Sanskrit वैडूर्य (vaiḍūrya, “a cat's eye gem; a jewel”)), from Dravidian. Probably named after the city Velur (modern day Belur) in southern India. The first glasses, manufactured in Italy around 1300, were made of beryl. The meaning “toilet seat” is newer and derived from the similarity in shape to a single eyeglass. The word thus forms a doublet of beril (“beryl”).
