BROOM
What broom means
A brush with a long handle made of stiff bristles or twigs, used for sweeping floors and other surfaces.
Where the word comes from
From Old English *brom*, referring to the shrubby plant whose twigs were bundled together to sweep. The word likely comes from Proto-Germanic *bramaz*, related to bramble. The plant's stiff branches made it ideal for sweeping, and by extension the word came to mean the implement itself rather than just the plant.
