Proto-Slavic

Etymology

South Slavic meaning probably reflects the iterative-causative of *briti (“to cut”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *bʰreyH- (“to notch”). Equivalent to *brojь (“count”) +‎ *-iti.

Per Grynčenko (quoted by Trubačev, ESSJa), secondary meaning in West and East Slavic may have been back-formed or at least influenced by unrelated *obrojiti (“to flock, to get into commotion”) < *ob- +‎ *rojiti (“to flow, to traverse”).

Verb

*brojiti

  1. (South Slavic) to mark, to count
  2. (West, East Slavic) to brawl, to disturb
    → to fool around, to prank
