Etymology
[edit]Inherited from Ancient Greek βρόμος (brómos, “oats”).
The traditional derivation from Byzantine Greek βρόμη (brómē), from Ancient Greek βρόμος (brómos, “loud noise”), from βρέμω (brémō, “to crash, to bang”) (with sense development explained as being from the movement and sound of grain in the wind), appears to be folk etymology.
