New English words to learn, What is Imbroglio?

Imbroglio is a noun and pronounces as “im-BROHL-yoh”.

Definition:

  • an acutely painful or embarrassing misunderstanding

  • a violently confused or bitterly complicated altercation: embroilment
  • an intricate or complicated situation (as in a drama or novel)

Imbroglio Origin:

Imbroglio and embroilment are more than just synonyms; they’re also linked through etymology.

Both descend from the Middle French verb embrouiller (which has the same meaning as embroil), from the prefix em-, meaning “thoroughly,” plus brouiller, meaning “to mix” or “to confuse.” (Brouiller is itself a descendant of an Old French word for “broth.”)

Early in the 17th century, English speakers began using embroil, a direct adaptation of embrouiller, as well as the noun embroilment.

Meanwhile, the Italians were using their own alteration of embrouiller :  imbrogliare, meaning “to entangle.”

In the mid-18th century, English speakers embraced the Italian noun imbroglio as well.
