The state, quality, or condition of being brick-like or having the characteristics of a brick, or membership in a community of brickmakers.
From 'brick' plus '-hood' (a suffix indicating state, condition, or community). The '-hood' suffix comes from Old English and appears in words like childhood and neighborhood.
Historically, brickhood as a community identity was significant in factory towns—brickmakers often formed close-knit social groups with their own traditions, because brick-making was dangerous work requiring skilled craftspeople.
