    Etymological Evidence:

Definite, From Old French broder, brosder, from Frankish brusdan, probably < Germanic brozd- 'spike, point' (see discussion at brwyt). In Middle English, the expected development was brouden, but apparently inflected by Middle English breiden 'to braid' (a verb of different origins), leading to modern forms such as broider, embroidery with a different diphthong.
WF: Borrowed into the British Isles
Etym Cog: broder (OF).
