Where this word comes from

Inherited from Middle French bresze, from Old French breze (“ember, burning coal, gleed”), perhaps from Gothic *𐌱𐍂𐌰𐍃𐌰 (*brasa, “glowing coal”), from Proto-Germanic *brasō (“gleed, crackling coal”), from Proto-Indo-European *bʰres- (“to crack, break, burst”). Cognate with Swedish brasa (“to roast”), Icelandic brasa (“to harden by fire”).
