/ˈbrəʊəm/, U.S.

/ˈbru(ə)m/,

/ˈbroʊ(ə)m/

Origin: From a proper name. Etymon: proper name Brougham.

Etymology: < the name of Lord Brougham, of which the native northern pronunciation was /ˈbrʊxəm/ also /ˈbrʊfɛm/, and /ˈbruːhəm/; this became in London /ˈbruːəm/, and /bruːm/. N.E.D. (1888) comments: ‘For the vehicle (brūm) /bruːm/ was the accepted London pronunciation, as seen in society verses, etc., and is still widely prevalent, especially among elderly people; (brū·əm) /ˈbruːəm/ is somewhat less frequent; but an extensive collection of evidence shows (brō^u·əm) /ˈbrəʊəm/ to be now the most common in educated use. (Brō^um) /brəʊm/ is heard from the vulgar.’

a. A one-horse closed carriage, with two or four wheels, for two or four persons.
