Etymology of BROOCH

The word brooch is derived from the Middle English word broche, which was borrowed from the Old French word broche, meaning pointed instrument or spit. This Old French term originated from the Late Latin word brocca, which meant pointed tool or spit. The Latin word brocca is believed to have been derived from the Gaulish (Celtic language spoken in ancient Gaul) word brog, meaning awl or spit. Over time, the meaning of broche evolved to refer specifically to a clasp or pin used to fasten garments, eventually becoming the modern-day brooch.
