Definitions and meaning of bree

bree

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /bɹiː/
  • Homophone: Brie
  • Rhymes: -iː

Etymology 1

From Middle English brewe, bre, bregh, from Old English brēġ (“eyelid”) (Anglian dialect). Compare West Saxon brǣw, brēaw, brēaġ (“eyelid”), from Proto-Germanic *brēwō. Cognate with Dutch (wenk)brauw, German Braue. Compare brae from the same source. Apparently related to brow.

Noun

bree (plural brees)

  1. (obsolete or dialectal, Scotland) The eyelid.
  2. (obsolete or dialectal, Scotland) The eyebrow.
  3. (Scotland) The brow; forehead.

Etymology 2

From Middle English bre, breie (“broth; gravy”), apparently from Old English brīw, brīġ (“pottage; porridge”), from Proto-West Germanic *brīw (“porridge; mash”), whence also German Brei, Dutch brij. Alternatively, the word could be a cognate of German Brühe (“broth”), from Middle High German brüeje, from the verb brüejen (“to scald, boil”), from Proto-Germanic *brōaną, whence modern German brühen, Dutch broeien, Middle Low German brȫjen. This is less likely, however, since the verb is not attested in English nor in Old Norse. Both paths eventually lead to the Proto-Indo-European root *bʰrewh₁- (“to boil, toss, cook, brew”), whence also English broth and brew.

Noun

bree (plural brees)

  1. (obsolete outside Scotland) Broth.
