Quotation

Bράζει· παρὰ τὸ βῶ, τὸ λέγω, γίνεται βάζω καὶ πλεονασμῷ τοῦ ρ βράζω.

Translation (En)

Brazei: from *bō, "to speak", are made bazō "to speak" and by addition of [r] brazō "to growl".

Other translation(s)

Brazei : à partir de *bō, « parler », sont formés bazō « parler » et brazō « grogner » avec ajout de [r].

Comment

Derivational etymology relying on one formal change, the insertion of a consonant: from βάζω is derived βράζω. It relies on the meaning "to growl", not on the meaning "to boil"
