Etymology

The word 'brigade' originated from the Italian word 'brigata', which means 'troop' or 'company'. It was first used in English in the late 17th century to refer to a military formation. Over time, the term expanded to include other organized groups, such as firefighting brigades. The concept of brigades has evolved to represent teamwork, coordination, and collective effort in various fields beyond the military.
