'bring' originates from Old English, specifically the word 'bringan', where the root meant 'to carry or convey'.

'bring' changed from the Old English word 'bringan' to Middle English forms such as 'bringen' and eventually became the modern English word 'bring'.

Initially, it meant 'to carry or convey to a place', and over time it has retained that core meaning while extending to figurative senses (e.g., 'bring about').
