    Word Origin

    • Old English brand ‘burning’, of Germanic origin; related to German Brand, also to burn. The verb sense ‘mark permanently with a hot iron’ dates from late Middle English, giving rise to the noun sense ‘a mark of ownership made by branding’ (mid 17th cent.), which developed in to sense (1) (early 19th cent.).
