Origin Mid 16th century: probably from Old Spanish and Portuguese briza 'NE wind' (the original sense in English). A breeze was originally a north or northeast wind, especially a trade wind on the Atlantic seaboard of the West Indies and the Caribbean coast of South America. This is the meaning of the Spanish and Portuguese word briza from which breeze probably derived in the 16th century. In the following century it began to refer to any gentle wind. See also brazier
