Proto-Slavic

Etymology

Probably onomatopoeic, related to *bryzgati. Analogous grade variation is also observed in Southern *prъskati : Northern *pryskati (both “to splash, to spray”). Formally equivalent to Lithuanian brũzgât (to snort), perhaps of shared origin (compare further Proto-Indo-European *bʰrew- (to brew)).

BER joins the meanings to strew (ръся) with to burst, to spew (пръскам), however, the later sense may also reflect *brьzgati.

Verb

*brъzgati impf

  1. (intransitive) to popple → to strew, to drizzle (for liquid)
  2. (by extension) to splatter, to gush
  3. (reflexive) (+ *) to burst, to spew (for liquid, mucus)
