Definition brethren

Etymology

From Early Modern English brethren, plural of brother, from Middle English brethren, from Middle English brethere, brether + -en (plural ending). Ultimately from Old English br?þor, br?þru (“brothers, brethren”), influenced by Old English br?þer, dative singular of br?þor (“brother”). Equivalent to brother +‎ -en pl. Compare German Brüder (“brothers, brethren”). More at brother. The vowel change (from o to e) is called in English rephonologization or cheshirization, but is more usual in German where it is called umlaut.
