бръзгам

Bulgarian

Etymology

Probably onomatopoeic, perhaps with original meaning “to popple” (cf. synonymous шуртя́ (šurtjá)). BER enlists as cognates Serbo-Croatian бри̏згати, Russian бры́згать (brýzgatʹ), etc.; thus, presumably from an earlier Proto-Slavic *brъzgati (“to strew, to splatter”). Could also reflect *brьzgati (“to brisk”) whence dialectal бръждя́ (brǎždjá, “to taste tarry”).
