Etymology of BRACHO

The word "bracho" comes from Spanish, specifically from the Old Spanish term "bacho" or "bac(h)o", which ultimately derived from Latin. In Latin, there was a word "bassus" which meant "thick" or "short in stature". Over time, "bassus" transformed into "bac(h)o" in Old Spanish, referring to someone who was short and stocky or had a bulky build. Eventually, the term evolved into "bracho" in Spanish, still indicating a person with a strong or heavy physical appearance.
