[ˈbɾu.ʃə]

Etimoloji

Uncertain. Possibly from Iberian/Celtiberian *bruxtia (compare Occitan bruèissa, Portuguese bruxa, Spanish bruja), from Proto-Celtic *brixtā (“spell, magic”) (compare Old Irish bricht (“charm”), Old Breton brith (“magic”)). It could instead be akin to a different Celtic word such as Old Irish Brigit (literally “high, exalted”).
