verbWeak class 1to keep warm; broodto breedLikely derived from the noun *brōduz (‘heat, warmth, incubation; brood; breeding’) + *-(i)janą(causative suffix forming Weak class 1 verbs). This provides a simpler derivation than directly from a Proto-Indo-European causative, as it provides a simple solution for the -d-. Alternatively, it would have to be from a PIE t-extension with a causative suffix, *bʰroh₁-t-éy-e/o- from *bʰreh₁- (‘to burn, brew’), upon which a tu-stem was built for the noun. Related to Proto-Germanic *brōaną (‘to singe, warm, brew’), *brewwaną (‘to brew’)). Also related to *brēdaną (‘to warm, heat, broil; roast (meat)’), and *brējaną (‘to roast, smell’).
