From Middle English brave, from Old French brave/bravee (meaning 'fine, showy, valiant'), of uncertain origin; later influenced by Italian bravo.

मध्य अंग्रेज़ी 'brave' से, जो पुरानी फ्रेंच 'brave/bravee' (अर्थ: 'भव्य/सजावटी, वीर') से आया; मूल स्पष्ट नहीं है; बाद में इतालवी 'bravo' का प्रभाव भी माना जाता है।
