Nguồn gốc từ

ine-pro From Middle English brawne, from Old French braon (slice of meat, fleshy part, buttock), from *brādon, *brādan, accusative form of *brādō (roasted meat, ham), from Proto-Germanic *brēdô (meat, roast), of uncertain further origin, but possibly from Proto-Indo-European *bʰreh₁- (to burn, heat).
