[Noun]  | "briar" 

1: a tobacco pipe made from a woody root outgrowth of a shrub-like Mediterranean heath (Erica arborea)

Origin: 1882 ;

 Short for briar pipe, from briar "wood of the heath plant Erica arborea," borrowed (with conformation to {see: |briar:1|briar:1}) from French bruyère "the heath plant Erica arborea," going back to Old French bruiere, bruere "moorland covered with heath, the heath plant Erica arborea," going back to Vulgar Latin *brūcāria, from *brūcus "heath plant" (borrowed from Gaulish *wroikos) + Latin -āria {see: |-ary:1|-ary:1} {mat|erica|};

  * Note : The meaning of the derivative *brūcāria must initially have been "place covered with *brūcus," but early on in Old French it was applied to the plant itself. The simplex *brūcus is attested as Old Occitan bruc, bru, breu, Catalan bruc, Upper Italian (Piedmont) brü, (Milan) brüg. A tenth-century botanical vocabulary (see: Corpus glossariorum Latinorum vol. 3, p. 587) has the gloss brucus : ramnus [Greek rhámnos "thorny shrub"]. The treatment of the diphthong (*oi > *ū) in the passage from Celtic to Vulgar Latin is idiosyncratic; it see:ms unlikely to have any connection to the monophthongization of oe (> ) in classical Latin.;
