Simplified etymology

Brazier entered English in the late 17th century from French braise “hot coals, embers.” The same French word later gave English braise, originally meaning to cook something on a brazier.

From French brasier (“pan of hot coals”), from Middle French braisier, from Old French brasier, from brese (“embers, hot coals”), of Germanic origin, ultimately from Proto-Germanic *brasō. See braise.
