embroidery: [14] Embroidery comes from Anglo-Norman enbrouderie, a derivative of the verb enbrouder. This was a compound verb formed from the prefix en- ‘in’ and broisder ‘embroider’ (a borrowing from Frankish *brusdan). English originally borrowed the verb as embroud, but soon extended it to embrouder (the early substitution of -broid- for -broud- may have been due to the influence of broiden, the Middle English past participle of braid).
embroidery (n.)
late 14c., embrouderie "art of embroidering;" see embroider + -y (4). Meaning "embroidered work" is from 1560s.
