broa

== English == === Etymology === Borrowed from Portuguese broa, possibly of Germanic origin (a doublet of bread). === Noun === broa (countable and uncountable, plural broas) A type of cornbread made in Portugal, Galicia and Brazil with wheat, rye and yeast. === Anagrams === Abor, Baro, Bora, baro-, boar, bora, bora- == Galician == === Alternative forms === boroa, brea, brona === Etymology === Obscure. From Old Galician-Portuguese borõa (13th century, Cantigas de Santa Maria); cognate with Portuguese broa, Asturian boroña and Spanish borona. Possibly from Germanic *braudą (“bread”), as has been proposed, probably via Gothic *𐌱𐍂𐌰𐌿𐌸 (*brauþ). Alternatively, perhaps from a Paleo-Hispanic. Possibly ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *bʰers- (“spike, prickle”) (compare Welsh bara (“bread”), Old Norse barr (“corn, grain, barley”), Latin far (“spelt”), Serbo-Croatian бра̏шно/brȁšno ‘flour’, Albanian bar (“grass”), Ancient Greek Φήρον (Phḗron, “plant deity”)). (Can this(+) etymology be sourced? Particularly: “can this etymology be reviewed ? it appears to be hypothetical and no more sure than any other theory”) === Pronunciation === IPA(key): [ˈbɾo.ɐ] === Noun === broa f (plural broas) (historical) millet bread black bread, cornbread: bread made of rye, millet and maize 1805, anonymous, Representación dos veciños da Pontedeva (in Ramón Mariño Paz, 2008, Papés d'emprenta condenada.
