brangus

Lithuanian

Etymology

Related to brìngti (“to become expensive”).^[1] Further etymology unclear:^[2]^[3]

Possibly related to brìnkti (“to swell”).
Possibly from Germanic, cf. German Prunk (“magnificence”), prangen (“to resplend”).

Latvian brañgs (“magnificent”) is often associated, but is formally incompatible, suggesting the Latvian is a borrowing from Lithuanian or another language.^[4]
