Word: бруне́ть
Near etymology: "сверкать белизной"; едва ли можно отделять от броне́ть -- то же; см. Бернекер 1, 87. Хольтхаузен (Ае. Wb. 36), не принимая во внимание слав. формы на -о-, относит это слово к д.-в.-н., англос. brûn "коричневый; имеющий темный блеск", греч. φρύ̄νη, φρῦνος "жаба", др.-инд. babhrúṣ "коричневый, рыжий", что допустимо, но не обязательно.

North Caucasian etymology :

Proto-North Caucasian: *būrV ( ~ -ō-)
Meaning: grey, brown
Notes: The word is not very widely spread, and - despite regular correspondences between languages - may be borrowed (cf. Pers. bōr 'bay, reddish', Osset. būr 'yellow' or Mong. bora 'grey'. Cf. Hurr. pawro 'brown' (see Diakonoff-Starostin 1986, 18) - which strengthens the EC etymology - but on the other hand, may be itself a loan from Indo-Iranian *babhru-.
