Etymology of BROOSE

The word "broose" has its origins in Scottish Gaelic. It comes from the Gaelic word "brùs", which means a drinking bout or a toast. In Scottish tradition, particularly during Highland games or festivals, a broose was a spirited race on horseback or foot, where the winner would receive a bottle of whisky or other alcoholic beverage as a prize. Over time, the term "broose" evolved to refer to the prize itself.
