英语词汇brumby的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	brumby
词源	brumby. An Australian wild horse is often called a brumby, or brumbie. The word possibly derives from the name of Major William Brumby, an early 19th-century settler from England whose descendants still live in Australia. Major Brumby was a noted breeder of horses, but much of his stock escaped and ran wild. Brumby may come, however, from the Aborigine booram- by, meaning “wild.”
