Brit.

/bratʃ/, U.S.

/brætʃ/

Forms: Middle English plural braches, brachez, Middle English bracke, brasche, 1500s braach, bratche, 1600s bratch, 1500s–1600s brache, 1500s– brach.

Etymology: Middle English braches plural, probably < Old French brachès, brachez, plural of brachet (medieval Latin brachētus), diminutive of brac (object case bracon), a common Romanic word (Provençal brac, bracon, Italian bracco, Spanish braco, medieval Latin bracco, -ōnem), < Old High German bracco (Middle High German bracke) a hound hunting by scent. From this plural braches was apparently educed an English singular brache, brach. (French braque masculine is a modern form, probably < Italian or Middle High German.)

archaic.

a. A kind of hound which hunts by scent; in later English use, always feminine, and extended to any kind of hound; a bitch-hound.
