.EBRAND-sEx - OR BRAN.NEw."-GCo
respondence Springfield Repubhcan.]-I find
in your issue ef to-day phrase to which
wish ito take exception, not because it is not
according to Webster, who prefers "brand-
new" TO hran.,seR,' but because am in.
elined.ts Think that Webster is in error in his
:etymolagy. I suspect that bran-new" Che
form in Mhich the oenpound popularity APP
pears ISIS corruption from the Scottish and
North English "braw-nsw," {" Draw" stand
ing for" brave" in the old Norman sense of
fine. Scott calls a w0msn's ornaments her
brayeries, and Spencer frequently uses the
adjective form in the serse of gaudy or
snowy. If am correct in my conjecture,
x bran.ueW" is an exact equivalent for Pin
der's .s shmg-new," which Htber expands
into droning ooaplet in his version of one
of the odes of the Tbeban poet, and Web
stes was misled by Addison anll Spelman.
1t fellows, of course, that :" bra.1-new" is
the better form, or rather the histol ica form,
while Hbrand:new" Is another phrase alto
gether.
