brougham|bruːm, ˈbruːəm, ˈbrəʊəm|
[c gray][f. the name of Lord Brougham, of which the native northern pronunciation was (ˈbrʊxəm[/c]) also |ˈbrʊfɛm|, and |ˈbruːhəm|; this became in London |ˈbruːəm, and bruːm|.
For the vehicle |bruːm| was the accepted London pronunciation, as seen in society verses, etc., and was still (1888) widely prevalent, especially among elderly people; |ˈbruːəm| was somewhat less frequent; but an extensive collection of evidence shows |ˈbrəʊəm| to have been the most common in educated use in the late 19th c. |brəʊm| was heard from the vulgar.]
