Toggle Century etymologies Century Dictionary (1)

  1. from Middle English bringen, occasionally brengen (preterit broghte, brohte, etc.), from Anglo-Saxon bringan (strong present, with preterit *brang, plural *brungon, forms assumed from the once-occurring past participle brungen), also brengan (weak present, with preterit brohte, past participle broht), = Old Saxon brengian, rarely bringian, = OFries. brenga, bringa = Dutch brengen = Old High German bringan, Middle High German G. bringen (later Swedish bringa, Danish bringe) = Gothic (Moesogothic) briggan (preterit brahta), bring. The forms are prevailingly weak; the strong forms are prob. assumed after the analogy of verbs like sing, swing, etc.; so in Scots and vulgar English preterit brang, brung.
