BRACKET Meaning and Definition

1. A "bracket" refers to a supportive or enclosing device that is typically made of metal, plastic, or wood and is used to hold, fasten, or support various objects or structures. It consists of two or more parts that are interconnected, usually in a L-shape or U-shape, forming an angle or an arc.

   In a general sense, a bracket can be defined as an attachment or fitting that provides stability or reinforcement. These are commonly used in construction, carpentry, engineering, and various applications where support or fixation is required. Brackets are designed to securely hold objects in place, preventing movement or collapse.

   Moreover, in the context of sports or competitions, a "bracket" refers to a system for organizing and arranging matches or games in a tournament. It involves grouping or pairing competitors according to their skill, ability, or previous results. Brackets are often depicted as a visual representation, with each participant's name or team listed in a progressively advancing format. This system allows for a structured progression of matches, ensuring fair play and determining winners.

   Furthermore, the term "bracket" can also be used metaphorically to indicate a range or category. It can represent a boundary, limit, or division between different alternatives or possibilities. For instance, in the field of mathematics or statistics, a bracket is used to enclose values that fall within a specified range. In linguistics, brackets are employed to mark off quotations, explanations, or alternative phrasings within a text.

Etymology of BRACKET

The word "bracket" originated from the Old French word "braguette" which means "codpiece" or "bib". It later evolved into the Middle French word "braguette" and then into the Old Italian word "braghetto". These words referred to a piece of armor or clothing that protected the crotch area of men. Eventually, in the 16th century, the term "bracket" was adopted into English, having the meaning of a support or shelf attached to a wall to hold or display something.
