A Scottish word for broth or a thin soup, especially barley broth.
From Scots English, related to Middle English 'broth' and ultimately from Old French 'broth.' The Scottish variant 'broo' simplified the pronunciation and became a distinct regional term in Northern English dialects.
In Scottish literature and culture, 'broo' represents comfort food for working people—the humble barley broth could sustain laborers through cold winters and is still beloved in Scotland as a connection to heritage and home.
