Probably from a merger of two interrelated nouns, both belonging to the root of breken (“to break”): Old Dutch *broc, from Proto-Germanic *brukaz, cognate with Old High German broh, Old English (ge)broc; Old Dutch *brocko, from Proto-Germanic *brukkô, cognate with Old High German brocko (modern German Brocken). The merger is made likely because in Middle Dutch the first noun should have plural *broken, whereas the latter noun should have singular *brocke. Alternatively, the attested forms can be due to early levelling. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /brɔk/ Hyphenation: brok Rhymes: -ɔk === Noun === brok m or n (plural brokken, diminutive brokje n) a scrap, remnant of shattering (in the plural, informal) damage, harm, wreckage, pieces (as a consequence of an accident) a lump, chunk, piece (in the plural) a dry, lumpy form of pet food ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Related terms ==== breken breuk ==== Descendants ==== Negerhollands: broki, brokkie, brokkies → Virgin Islands Creole: broki (archaic) == Norwegian Nynorsk == === Etymology === From Old Norse brók, from Proto-Germanic *brōks.
