Etymology
The word 'brazenly' originated from the Middle English word 'brasen', which means of brass. Brass is a metal alloy made of copper and zinc, known for its strength and durability. The adverb 'brazenly' evolved from the idea of being bold and shameless, much like the properties of brass. Over time, 'brazenly' has come to describe actions or behaviors that are bold, audacious, and unapologetic.
