A Scottish dialect word for a mixture or paste, especially of soft or pulpy material.
From Scots and Middle English 'brei,' possibly related to Old English 'bræ' and connected to 'brew.' The word stayed alive in Scottish dialect while largely disappearing from standard English.
Scottish English kept tons of old words that vanished from other English dialects—'brei' for paste is one of hundreds, making Scots like a living museum of medieval vocabulary!
