broilus, brolium, thicket, wood, park; of uncertain origin; cf. W.

The meaning tumult, confusion, comes apparently from tangled
undergrowth, thicket, and this possibly from the meaning to grow,
rise, sprout.]
Definition: A tumult; a noisy quarrel; a disturbance; a brawl; contention;
discord, either between individuals or in the state.
I will own that there is a haughtiness and fierceness in human nature
which will which will cause innumerable broils, place men in what
