Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: ale n., bree n.2
Etymology: < ale n. + bree n.2 The β. forms probably partly (in early use) show development of an epenthetic vowel in the second element (due to unstressed position), and partly reflect folk-etymological association with berry n.1 Compare post-classical Latin alebrodium (1440 in a British source: see quot. 1440; < English). Compare later ale brue n. at ale n. Compounds 2, breadberry n. at bread n. Compounds 4.
