Romanian
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Possibly borrowed from Old Albanian *bradh (modern Albanian bredh), or alternatively a substrate cognate of it, and ultimately from an Indo-European source either way (a borrowing directly from modern Albanian would have presumably produced a form *brez).[1]
Another theory suggests that it was reformed analogically from the plural brazi, and that the original form was *braz (reinterpreted as a plural, modeled on plurals such as coadă > cozi, pradă > prăzi, surd, > surzi). See also the Romanian alpine toponyms containing Breaza, which may correspond to the Albanian plural form bredha.[2] Compare also Aromanian brad.
Noun
[edit]brad m (plural brazi)
- fir, Abies alba.
- pine tree.
- pine wood.
