Origin: A borrowing from early Scandinavian.
Etymology: < early Scandinavian (compare Faroese brókutur , Norwegian brokutt , Old Swedish brokoter (Swedish †brokot ; now superseded by brokig ), Danish broget , all in sense ‘variegated, speckled, spotted’), of uncertain origin, probably < a suffixed form of the Scandinavian base of Old Icelandic brók trousers, breeches (see breech n.), perhaps initially with reference to the appearance of the markings on an animal. With the suffix compare Old Icelandic -óttr , ultimately < a variant of the Germanic base of -y suffix1 with dental extension; see further H. Krahe & W. Meid German. Sprachwiss. (ed. 7, 1969) III. §145. In English the ending was apparently reanalysed as -ed suffix2.The α. forms show regular Older Scots fronting of long close ō (to //), as well as (in some forms) subsequent diphthongization (before k ) to /yu/ or /iu/ (later /ju/) and yod-absorption after a liquid consonant, resulting in modern reflexes in /u/ and /ʌ/ (see A. J. Aitken & C. Macafee Older Sc. Vowels (2002) §7.2.1). In β. forms apparently influenced by association with brock n.1 and also with Scottish Gaelic brocach and Irish brocach speckled, spotted, dirty, pockmarked (17th cent.; apparently < broc badger (see brock n.1) + -ach , suffix forming adjectives). The Irish English (southern) form bracket is probably influenced by Irish breac speckled, spotted (see bracken n.2).
Originally and chiefly Scottish.
1. Esp. of an animal: having variegated black and white colouring; characterized by a mixture of black and white. Now rare.
