Borrowed from French brume, from Latin brūma (“winter solstice; winter; winter cold”). Brūma is derived from brevima, brevissima (“shortest”), the superlative of brevis (“brief; short”) (the winter solstice being the shortest day of the year), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *mréǵʰus (“brief, short”).

noun brumes

countable, literary, uncountable Mist, fog, vapour. For, shou'd you come before the Brume's abated / Th' Opime you'd linquish for the Macerated.
