Covered with or containing brass; made of or resembling brass in color or composition.
From the noun 'brass' (the metal alloy of copper and zinc) plus the adjective suffix '-ate,' meaning 'made of' or 'containing' that substance.
Calling something 'brassate' is like saying it's 'brazen'—it literally means it's made from or covered in brass, but historically it could also imply something showy or flashy, since brass was often used for decorative objects.
