Looking through or searching casually, especially when reading or shopping online or in stores.
Originally from Middle French 'broust' meaning young shoots that animals feed on. Extended metaphorically to humans 'feeding' on information or goods casually, first applied to reading in the 16th century, then to internet use in the 1990s.
The connection between animals grazing on tender shoots and humans casually looking through information reveals how we conceptualize mental consumption through physical metaphors. Modern 'web browsing' perfectly captures this idea of moving from item to item, sampling rather than consuming everything.
