Usage Examples

Etymology

**Brochant** (noun) comes from Old French *brochant*, the present‑participle form of the verb *brocher* “to fasten or bind with a hook.” *Brocher* is ultimately derived from Latin *brochus* “bent, hooked,” a word borrowed from a Germanic root (*broc* “bend, hook”), which explains its resemblance to English “broach.” In medieval French *brochant* came to denote a hinge or clamp used to secure chains, rope, or other objects.
