释义

Forms: 1500s–1700s brocardo, 1600s–1700s brocado, brocard, 1700s brochad, 1600s– brocade.
Etymology: The form brocado was < Spanish brocado , Portuguese brocado , corresponding to Italian broccato ‘cloth of gold and siluer’ (Percivall, Florio), lit. ‘bossed’ or ‘embossed stuff’, in form masculine past participle of broccare ‘to boss, to stud, to set with great-headed nails’, < Italian brocca (Spanish broca ) a boss or stud, the same word as French broche , English broach n.1 For the change to -ade suffix see that ending; the form brochad seems influenced by French brocher (compare broche v.). (It is not clear whether the forms brocardo , brocard , and French brocart , are corruptions of brocado , or distinct formations with the suffix -ardo , -art , -ard suffix.)
1. A textile fabric woven with a pattern of raised figures, originally in gold or silver; in later use, any kind of stuff richly wrought or ‘flowered’ with a raised pattern; also a cloth of gold and silver of Indian manufacture.
