"bridd" meaning in Old English

See bridd in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /bridd/, [brid]
Etymology: Unknown; the word appears to be exclusive to Old English and lacks cognates in any other Germanic languages. Liberman notes that dozens of origins have been both suggested and rejected, leaving its original meaning and etymology a mystery. It might possibly be from a non-Indo-European substrate.
