Origin Late 17th century: from French brasier, from braise 'hot coals'. The French braise ‘hot coals, embers’ gives us both brazier and to braise (mid 18th century), originally to cook something on a brazier. Braze (late 16th century) ‘to solder’ probably shares the root. Breeze (late 16th century) as in the cinder blocks called breeze blocks also comes from the French.
