Etymology

“Branché” (noun) comes from the past participle of the verb **brancher** “to plug in, to connect.” The verb itself is built on **branche** “branch, limb,” derived from the Latin *branca* (a branch of a tree). In the mid‑20th century the figurative sense “plugged‑in, up‑to‑date” shifted into slang, giving rise to the noun “branché” meaning a hip or trend‑savvy person.
