Word origin

The word 'brazen' originated from Middle English 'brasen', which in turn came from Old English 'brรฆsen', meaning 'of brass'. The association with the metal brass suggests the idea of boldness and strength. Over time, the word evolved to describe someone who is shameless or audacious in their demeanor.
