Esperanto[edit]
Etymology[edit]
From German Brust (“chest”). Cognate with Yiddish ברוסט (brust, “breast”).
Pronunciation[edit]
Noun[edit]
brusto (accusative singular bruston, plural brustoj, accusative plural brustojn)
- (anatomy) breast; chest
- 1907, Henri Vallienne, chapter 18, in Kastelo de Prelongo:
- Ŝi apogis sian kapon sur la bruston de Gastono.
