Where this word comes from
From Middle French brosse, from Old French broce, brosse, broisse (“brushwood, brush”), of unknown origin. Probably cognate with Catalan brossa and possibly with various other Romance words. Theories include: * From Vulgar Latin *broccia, from Proto-Celtic *wroikos (“heather”). * From Vulgar Latin *bruscia, itself from Latin brūscum (“knot, excrescence on a tree”), or Proto-Germanic *bruskaz (“underbrush”), or a confluence of these. * From Vulgar Latin *brustia, from Frankish *bursti, from Proto-Germanic *burstiz (“bristle”). This is considered least likely, because the Germanic word does not have the sense “brushwood” while the Romance word does not have the sense “bristle”.
