What does BRUIT mean in Scrabble?
verb
archaicliterary
To spread a report, rumor, or piece of news widely, especially before it can be confirmed.
Older newspapers and letters often used bruit to describe how gossip or unconfirmed news traveled quickly through a town before official word arrived. The word survives today mainly in the phrase bruited about, meaning that some claim or rumor is circulating without anyone vouching for its truth. In medicine, the related noun a bruit names an abnormal whooshing sound a doctor hears through a stethoscope, a completely different but coincidentally identical spelling. Writers reaching for an old-fashioned tone sometimes choose bruit over the plainer word rumor to give their sentence a more formal, literary feel.
