brillo pad
Where it comes from
From a trademark, probably related to brilliant. The company has claimed that the name derives from a Latin word for bright, but there is no such fitting word in attested Latin; the ancestor of such verbs as Italian brillare (“to shine”) would be a hypothetical Vulgar Latin *b(e)rillāre.
noun brillo pads
- A scouring pad used for cleaning dishes, made from steel wool containing soap.
- The hair on the scalp of a black person.
