braise: [18] Braise has a wide range of rather surprising living relatives. Its immediate source is French braiser, a derivative of braise ‘live 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 braten ‘roast’ (as in bratwurst) and Old English brǣdan ‘roast’. 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.
