braise

braise
\ \ [18] Braise has a wide range of rather surprising living relatives. Its immediate source is French braiser, a derivative of braiselive coals’ (from which English gets brazier [17] and the breeze of breezeblock). In Old French this was brese, a borrowing from Germanic *brasa, which came from the same base as produced German bratenroast’ (as in bratwurst) and Old English brǣdanroast’. The ultimate source of this base was Indo-European *bhrē- ‘burn, heat’, which produced such other diverse offspring as English breath, breed, brood, and probably brawn.
\ \ Cf.BRAWN, BRAZIER, BREATH, BREED, BROOD
