Definition
A thorny shrub or wild rose plant with sharp prickles, often found in hedgerows and bushland.
Etymology
From Old English 'brær' or 'brere,' possibly related to Old Norse and Germanic roots. The word originally referred to any prickly shrub, particularly wild roses and brambles.
Kelly Says
Briar pipes became fashionable in Victorian times because the wood from the briar heath plant is extremely heat-resistant—it won't burn through even when smoking hot pipes. Sherlock Holmes famously smoked from a briar pipe!
