Definitions

  1. a thick and heavy shoe

Word origin

Borrowed from Irish bróg (“boot, shoe”), from Old Irish bróc (“shoe, greave, legging, hose, breeches”), likely from Old Norse brók (“breeches”), from Proto-Germanic *brōks (“breeches”). The "accent" sense may instead be derived from Irish barróg (“a hold (on the tongue)”).

Used in a sentence

  • I had no doubt he knew where I was from, for I had the brogue, although not much of it.
  • “No-man's-land.” The words were spoken in a deep voice filled with salt water and brogue.
  • Belter is composed mainly of Chinese, Japanese, Slavic, Germanic, and romance languages because Earth's most common tongues would be the ones to survive to form the new brogue of the cosmos.
