The noun is derived from Middle English bruit (commotion, tumult; fame, renown; collective noun for a group of barons) [and other forms], from Anglo-Norman brut (commotion, tumult; noise, sounds; fame, renown; hearsay, rumour; collective noun for a group of barons) and Old French bruit (commotion, tumult; noise, sounds; fame, renown; hearsay, rumour) (modern French bruit (noise; report, rumour)), a noun use of the past participle of bruire (to make a noise; to rattle; to roar; to rustle), from Late Latin brugere, an alteration of Latin rugīre (to roar) (the present active infinitive of rugiō (to bray; to bellow, roar; to rumble), possibly from Proto-Indo-European *h₁rewg- (to belch; to roar)), possibly influenced by Late Latin bragere (to bray). The English word is cognate with Catalan brogir (to roar); Old Occitan bruir, brugir (to roar).
