brillo pads plural

词源

From a trademark, probably related to brilliant. The company has claimed that the name derives from a Latin word for bright, but there is no such fitting word in attested Latin; the ancestor of such verbs as Italian brillare (“to shine”) would be a hypothetical Vulgar Latin *b(e)rillāre.
