brisket|ˈbrɪskɪt|
Forms: 5 brusket(te, 6 Sc. briscat, (7 bysket, 8 Sc. bisket), 7– brisket.
[Identical in meaning, and apparently in form, with F. brechet (in Cotgr. bruchet, in 16th c. brichet, 14th c. bruschet, brischet, which Littré derives from the Eng.; but this seems unlikely. The Breton bruchet and Welsh brysced, appear to be adopted from Fr. and Eng. respectively.]
