[edit]brothelry (uncountable)
- prostitution, especially in brothels
- 1888, John Jewel, The Apology of the Church of England[1]:
- Peter did not thus teach at Rome: Paul did not so live at Rome: they did not practise brothelry, which these do openly: they made not a yearly revenue and profit of harlots: they suffered no common adulterers and wicked murderers to go unpunished.
