Definition
A tropical tree native to South America with reddish-brown heartwood that produces a valuable red dye, historically used extensively in textile and leather coloring.
Etymology
From 'brazil' (Portuguese 'brasil,' possibly from Arabic 'baraz' meaning bright) plus 'wood.' This compound word reflects how European traders named the material by what it was: the wood that produces the 'brasil' dye.
Kelly Says
Brasilwood was so valuable that it triggered one of history's earliest global trades—Portuguese and Spanish merchants fought over monopolies on brasilwood routes, making it one of the first tropical commodities that shaped European exploration and colonization.
