Etymology

The term 'brazen' originates from the Middle English 'brasen', which means 'made of brass'. Brass is a metal known for its bright, shiny appearance and durability; thus, it became associated with boldness and shamelessness over time. The notion of 'brazening' evolved to describe actions that are brazen, reflecting an attitude that is as unyielding as brass. The adjective 'brazen' has been in use since the 14th century, while the verb form emerged much later, capturing the essence of acting with a bold and impudent spirit. This shift in meaning further emphasized the idea that one could confront situations with a carefree disregard for conventional propriety or societal rules.
