单词 brut
释义

brutn.

Brit. /bruːt/, U.S. /brut/
Forms: Also Middle English brout.
Etymology: = Middle Welsh brut , modern Welsh brud , in the names of the Welsh chronicles of British history, as in the Brut Gruffudd ab Arthur of Geoffrey of Monmouth, Brut Tysilio, Brut y Tywysogion, etc. Salesbury Dict. Eng. & Welsh (1547) has ‘Brut , Walshe prophecies’; Davies 1632 ‘Brud , brut , historia, chronica; sumitur et pro vaticinio.’ The Welsh Bible has (Dan. ii. 27) brudwyr ‘brut-men’ = soothsayers. Brut ‘chronicle’ was a transferred use of Brut = Brutus , as in Le Roman de Brut of Wace, and the Brut of Layamon, a chronicle or genealogy of the legendary Brutus and his descendants in Britain. Whether the transferred sense arose in Welsh, or was taken from a French title, as the Brut of Wace, or the later Petit Brut of Raoul de Bohon (c1350), is doubtful; but the latter is more likely. For the Brutus legend, see Brute n.2
A chronicle of British history from the mythical Brutus downward. (The Middle English instance may refer to Wace, Layamon, or some Welsh Brut.)
