bruitn.  Brit.  /bruːt/, U.S. /brut/ (In sense 5 also) Brit. /ˈbruːi/, U.S. /ˈbrui/Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French bruit. Etymology: < Anglo-Norman brut, Anglo-Norman and Middle French bruit (French bruit , †bruict ) fame, renown, reputation (1138 in Old French), noise, sound, clamour, din (second half of the 12th cent.), common talk, rumour (end of the 14th cent.), in Anglo-Norman also (as group name in glossarial sources) group of barons (c1250 or earlier) < bruire to make a noise, to roar (first half of the 12th cent.) < post-classical Latin brugere (7th cent. in Lex Alemann.), alteration of classical Latin rūgīre to roar (see rut n.1); the prefixed b may be due to an imitative alteration, or may be influenced by post-classical Latin bragire bray v.1 Compare Old Occitan bruir (13th–14th cent.), brugir (14th cent.), Catalan brogir (14th cent.), in sense ‘to roar’.Specific senses. Sense 1 appears to reflect an extended use (so already in Anglo-Norman) of the word for ‘fame, renown’, ‘noise, din’, with reference either to the fame won by barons or to the din of a battle. In sense 5 after the corresponding specific use of French bruit ( R. T. H. Laennec De l'auscultation médiate (1819)); compare the following earlier instance of the French noun in this sense in an English context:1826 Lancet 9 Dec. 312/2 The next distinction which Laennec makes, in the respiratory sounds, is the bruit respiratoire bronchique, or, by way of abridgment, the Bronchial respiration. Specific forms. The β. forms (found only in sense 1) apparently show remodelling after bright n. as a result of association with that word. c1400 (Trin. Cambr.)
