A brush or swatter used to brush away or kill flies, historically used in households and restaurants.
From 'fly' + 'brush' (Old Norse 'bursti'). Domestic tool that evolved from simple plant switches to more sophisticated designs in Victorian times.
The flybrush was a household essential before electric bug zappers—every Victorian kitchen had one hanging nearby for the constant battle against flies at dinner.
