/bru/

Forms: Past tense and participle brewed /bruːd/. Forms: Old English bréowan, Middle English breowe(n, Middle English brewen, Middle English–1600s brewe, Middle English– brew, (also Middle English breu, Middle English–1500s bru, Middle English–1600s brue, Middle English brow-yn, browne, br(u)w-yn, 1500s breawe). past tense Old English bréaw, Middle English breuȝ, Middle English breuh, breu, brew; plural Old English bruwon, Middle English browe(n; also Middle English–1600s brued, Middle English breud, Middle English– brewed, 1500s– brew'd. past participle Old English ( ge)browen, Middle English ( i-)browen, Middle English browe, Middle English bruen, brew(e, Middle English–1500s browne, Scottish browin, brouin, broune; also Middle English– brewed, (Middle English ibrowt, Middle English–1600s brued, Middle English breud(e, Middle English brewid, 1600s bru'd).

Origin: A word inherited from Germanic.

Etymology: Common Germanic: Old English bréow-an (bréaw , bruwon ; (ge)browen ) strong verb = Old Saxon *briuwan (Middle Low German bruwen , Middle Dutch bruwen , brouwen , Dutch brouwen , weak), Old High German briuwan (Middle High German briuwen , brûwen , modern German brauen ) strong, Old Norse brugga (Swedish brygga , Danish brygge ) weak; pointing to a Germanic verb-root *brū (pre-Germanic bhreu- ): compare Old High German brû-hûs ‘brewhouse’. Outside Germanic, the same root is perhaps to be recognized in Latin dēfrutum new wine boiled down, and Thracian βρῦτον (= ϕρῦτον ) beer. Compare broth n., and other derivatives, which show that the root brū had originally also in Germanic a wider sense than ‘brew’, apparently that of ‘make a decoction, infuse’. The strong past tense is found in Middle English till the 14th cent., and the strong past participle to the 16th (the latter still in Scottish); but weak forms occur in the 13th.

a. transitive. To make (ale, beer, and the like) by infusion, boiling, and fermentation.
