Nguồn gốc từ

From Early Modern English brethren, plural of brother, from Middle English brethren, from Middle English brethere, brether + -en. Ultimately from Old English brōþor, brōþru (brothers, brethren), influenced by brēþer, dative singular of brōþor (brother). Equivalent to brother + -en. Compare Brüder. More at brother. The vowel change (from o to e) is called umlaut.
