breadth
breadth: [16] Breadth was formed in the 16th century by adding the suffix -th (as in length) to the already existing noun brede ‘breadth’. This was an ancient formation, directly derived in prehistoric Germanic times from *braid-, the stem of broad. It came into Old English as brǣdu.

breadth (n.)
