Where this word comes from

Borrowed from Ancient Greek βρόγχια (brónkhia), from βρόγχος (brónkhos, “trachea, throat”), cognate both with Ancient Greek βρόχω (brókhō, “to gulp down”) and Ancient Greek βρόχθος (brókhthos, “throat”). The various endings likely represent different forms of the root, rather than suffixes; according to Beekes the nasalisation could suggest a Pre-Greek origin, although IE derivations have been suggested.
