A thick, dense growth of bramble plants; a brambly thicket or cluster of bramble shrubs.
Compound of bramble and bush (from Old English busc). Emerged as a descriptive term for the characteristic tangled, dense growth pattern of multiple bramble plants growing together.
A bramblebush was traditionally used as a defensive barrier around property—medieval people understood that planting these thorny shrubs created an almost impassable obstacle better than any fence.
