A Scottish word for breeches or trousers, often used in the plural form 'breeks.'
From Scottish English 'breek,' which comes from the same Germanic root as 'breeches.' It's the more common form in Scots dialect, while 'breeches' was the English standard.
Scots have a wonderful way of keeping older English words alive—'breeks' is still commonly used in Scotland while the English dropped it centuries ago, making Scots dialect a living museum of medieval pronunciation!
