Origin

Middle English: variant of brief. In the musical sense, the term was originally used in a series where a long was of greater time value than a breve.

  • brief from Middle English:

    Briefs or underpants, which were first worn in the 1930s, are literally ‘shorts’. Brief comes from the Latin word brevis, meaning ‘short’, a root shared by abbreviate (Late Middle English) and the musical note breve (Late Middle English), which used to mean a short note.
