"braze" meaning in All languages combined

See braze on Wiktionary

Noun [English]

IPA: /bɹeɪz/ Forms: brazes [plural]
Rhymes: -eɪz Etymology: 1580s, "to expose to the action of fire", perhaps from French braser (“to solder, weld”), though the sense evolution is difficult to explain. Perhaps the English word is older, being unrecorded in Middle English but borrowed from Old French braser (“to burn”), which fits the meaning more closely. Old French braser derives from Old Norse brasa (“to braze, harden with fire”). Also possible is that the Middle English and English words were borrowed directly from Old Norse.
