An archaic or dialectal form of braid or embroider; to weave threads together or decorate with embroidery.
Middle English form of braid, from Old English bredan; the -oid ending is an archaic variant that fell out of standard usage.
Medieval craftspeople would have used 'broid' for the intricate thread work that decorated royal garments—it's a ghost word from when embroidery was called something else.
