Broach vs. brooch. Broach is primarily a verb meaning (1) to bring up (a subject),or (2) to pierce in order to draw off liquid. Brooch is a noun referring to a large decorative pin or clasp. Some dictionaries list broach as a variant spelling of brooch, and the words do have related origins (in the Middle English broche, meaning pointed tool), but they are mostly kept separate in modern usage. Broach is also not to be confused with breach.
The word broch is derived from Lowland Scots 'brough', meaning (among other things) fort. In the mid-19th century Scottish antiquaries called brochs 'burgs', after Old Norse borg, with the same meaning.he theory that they were defensive military structures (an Iron Age equivalent to the castles and tower houses of medieval Scotland) is not accepted by many modern archaeologists (see the 'general references' below), while the alternative notion that they were farmhouses is dismissed by some others.
