Etymology
A Central and Low German form with de -ss- for de -chs-, from northern de gmh - and de gml brassem, from de goh brahsma, from de gmw-pro *brahsima, from de gem-pro *brahsmǭ, perhaps from gem-pro *brehwanaz shining, glittery, sparkly, from de ine-pro *bʰerek- to shine, see also en braid verb.
