词形变化

brogans plural

词源

An alteration of brogue. Most dictionaries give the source as Irish *brógán (from bróg (“shoe”) + -án (diminutive suffix)) or its Scottish Gaelic equivalent, but no such word can be confirmed to exist in either language (apart from the given name Brógán, the source of the surname Brogan).
