How to spell brawl
What it means: A noisy fight or quarrel.
In a sentence: The kittens had a playful brawl with each other.
The part people get wrong
Often misspelled as bral or brol.
Same family: brawls, brawling, brawled, fight, quarrel. If you can spell one, the shared part carries to the others.
Where it comes from: “Brawl” comes from Middle English “braulen,” meaning to quarrel or boast, and may be related to an Old French word meaning ‘to shout.’ Over time, its meaning shifted from loud arguing to the idea of a noisy physical fight.
