Nguồn gốc từ

ine-pro From Middle English bruisen, brusen, brosen, brisen, bresen, from a merger two words, both ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *bʰrews- (to break): * Old English brȳsan, brīesan (to bruise; crush), from Proto-Germanic *brausijaną, *brūsijaną (to break; crumble; crack). Provided the word's sense. * bruiser, bruser (to break, smash, shatter), from *brus-, from *bruseti (to break).
