A type of wood that is particularly brittle or prone to breaking; also, a tree species with such wood.
From brittle + wood; a descriptive term for woods that shatter rather than splinter, or potentially a plant name.
Some woods are genuinely more brittle than others due to their cellular structure—brittlewood might describe woods like ash or hickory that snap suddenly rather than bend, making them hazardous for certain uses.
