BRISE-BRAS. A
French corruption of Welsh Freichfras
("strong-arm"), meaning "break-arm" or "wasted
arm." Cf. Norman Briefbras.
... Vreichfras
means the strong arm, but the French trouveurs rendered it Brise-bras,
the wasted arm; and told of an enchanter who fixed a serpent on the
knight's arm, from whose torture nothing could relieve him but that she
whom he loved best should undergo it in his stead... (History of
Christian Names, Yonge, 1884).
