brùcino (formal imperative negative plural second-person-semantically third-person)

From a Vulgar Latin *brusiāre, itself of uncertain origin; possibly from a form *prustiāre < *per-ust(u)lāre, from Latin per + ustulāre (compare perurere), or alternatively from a corruption of *combustulāre, from a change of prefix of ambustulāre, influenced by combustus; see ambūrēre. However, an Italian word brustolare (cf. abbrustolire), from a related root *brustulāre, from ustulāre, also exists. The initial br- may also be of Germanic origin.
Compare French brûler (Old French brusler), Dalmatian brusur, Occitan bruslar, buizar, Romansch brischar.
