Origin

noun

From Middle English broth, from Old English broþ (“broth”), from Proto-West Germanic *broþ (“broth”), from Proto-Germanic *bruþą (“broth”), from Proto-Indo-European *bʰrewh₁- (“to seethe, roil, brew”). Akin to Old English breowan (“to brew”), equivalent to brew + -th (abstract nominal suffix).
