Where this word comes from
Inherited from Danish brække, from Middle Low German brēken, from Old Saxon brekan, from Proto-Germanic *brekaną (“to break”). In older Danish, the verb had both strong and weak conjugation. While contemporary Danish has generalized the weak forms, Bokmål has followed the opposite tendency.
