# According to Fedotov borrowed from Arabic أَمَان (ʔamān, “safety, peace”).
# Yegorov and Fedotov also suggests it may be derived from Proto-Turkic *ab-, the root of *abïn- (“to console oneself”) and *abït- (“to console”), compare Old Turkic [script needed] (abïnïq, “consolation”), Khakas абыт- (abıt-, “to lull, to spend time”) and Turkish avunmak (“to cope”).
# EDAL accepts Turkish evet as a cognate and reconstructs a hypothetical Proto-Turkic *ebe-, however such a root is unattested and is not reconstructed outside of EDAL.

βρε

Inherited from Byzantine Greek βρέ (bré), developed phonetically, from Byzantine Greek μρέ (mré), from Ancient Greek μωρέ (mōré), the vocative form of μωρός (mōrós, “moron”). Doublet of μωρέ (moré), μρε (mre), μπρε (bre), ωρέ (oré), and ρε (re). See μωρέ (moré).
Or, inherited from Byzantine Greek βρέ (bré), from Ottoman Turkish بره (bre) (Turkish bre), itself taken from the same Greek root.

inh+

Βρε παιδί μου, γιατί δε μ’ ακούς;

Βρε Γιώργο, για φώναξε τον πατέρα σου.

(colloquial, informal) hey, eh, dude (a sort of vocative familiar call to a friend or acquaintance)

Σε ποιον μιλάς έτσι, βρε κάθαρμα;

Who do you think you're talking to like that, you bastard?

Άντε φύγε βρε παλιάνθρωπε!

(colloquial, informal, offensive) hey, oi, you (a sort of vocative familiar call to strangers and unfamiliar people to deliberately offend)

Βρε, βρε τι πάθαμε.

Βρε τους αλήτες, που σπάσαν τα καταστήματα.

What bums they are, to have destroyed the shops.

Vre tous alítes, pou spásan ta katastímata.

(colloquial, informal) jeez, gosh, yikes, my, what (expressing surprise or bewilderment, often repeated)


μωρέ

→ Albanian: more

→ Bulgarian: мо́ре (móre)

→ Macedonian: море (more)

→ Serbo-Croatian: мо̑ре / mȏre

Inherited from Byzantine Greek μωρέ (mōré), from Ancient Greek μωρέ (mōré), already used as interjection in Hellenistic Koine, vocative singular of μωρός (mōrós, “stupid”), initially as "ὦ (ô) μῶρε (môre)!", often in Aristophanes, vocative of form μῶρος (môros). Also see the vernacular ωρέ (oré).
For the mediaeval forms μρέ (mré), μπρέ (mpré), βρέ (bré), see Etymology at the modern βρε (vre).
The interjection seems to be etymologically identical to the vocative adjective, from Byzantine Greek μωρέ (mōré), via the semantic shift “fool” → “buddy, mate, man” (paralleled, for example, by AAVE fool and Latin American Spanish huevón). Likely a doublet of βρε (vre) and ρε (re), which may be clippings from the same original word. As similar interjections are found across the Balkan sprachbund (cf. Albanian bre and more), this has led some linguists to speculate about substrate origin, but the more popular assumption is that all are eventually from Greek.

Πότε θα μας επισκεφτείς, μωρέ;

Άντε μωρέ, μην τον ακούς, ψέματα σου λέει.

Sure mate, don't listen to him, he's telling you lies.

Ánte moré, min ton akoús, psémata sou léei.

(colloquial, informal) you, dude, mate (a sort of vocative familiar call to a (male) friend or acquaintance)

Μωρέ κοίτα τι γίνεται στην πλατεία!

Hey, look what's happening in the square!

Μωρέ μπράβο που το κατόρθωσες.

(colloquial, informal) hey, jeez, gosh, yikes, oh my (expressing surprise, bewilderment, admiration, etc)

Catchphrase of the protagonist of the comic strip Little Annie Rooney (launched in 1927), presumably from glorious.

1963, Joseph Anthony Breig, The Mysteries of Marriage, page 20:

The individual or group at the top feed entirely on flattering and deceptive garbage (the Howard Hughes syndrome). Gloriosky, the tales I could tell about corporations where I've worked... such things are only possible on the Planet of the Apes.

1980, Robert Anton Wilson, The Illuminati Papers:

My heart dropped with a sick thud when I read small type on the label; rather than a German set from EMI Electrola, this originated in the U.K. But it played, gloriosky, without a single tick or click.

1986, Fanfare, volume 9, numbers 3-4, page 197:

STEPHANIE: Gloriosky, Mom! Fiber and long-chain carbs and pure, natural fruit sugar—all without saturated fat! It doesn't get any better than this!
