debris

Debris comes from French débris, built from dé- ("de-") and bris ("broken, crumbled"), or from Middle French debriser ("to break apart"). That in turn traces back through Old French debrisier to Frankish roots meaning "to break violently, shatter, bust," ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *bʰrest- ("to separate, burst").

The word entered English as a direct borrowing from French, carrying with it the sense of things shattered or broken apart rather than developing a new meaning of its own.

It's cognate with the English word burst, both descending from Proto-Germanic *brestaną ("to break, burst"), as well as with German bersten and Old English berstan, which shared the same meaning.
