Brinston

/ˈbrɪnstən/ noun

Definition

An obsolete or extremely rare term of uncertain meaning, possibly a place name or variant word.

Etymology

This word is so obscure that its etymology is unclear; it may be a place name or a corruption of another term that has largely disappeared from English.

Kelly Says

Some words are so rare that lexicographers debate whether they should even be included—'brinston' is essentially a ghost word, possibly created by a printing error that got copied into future dictionaries!
