BRICK

A piece of baked clay used for construction.

The word in a number of languages, such as Turkish tuğla, Hungarian tégla, Czech cihla, and Finnish tiili seem similar, and seem like they could be related to the Coptic ṭūbah, also used in Spanish as adobe.

The English brick is probably related to the verb break.
