foundation upon which our lexicon stands ...
The word “Bridge (or #Bridger)” is built on ancient words that mean Log, Beam (see Wooden |Causeway, Footbridge).
The name of the card-game comes from a hard-to-find source---maybe ancient words that mean One-Three (since you can see one dealt-hand while you can't see the other three), and the game was known as Russian |Whist early-on.
