[a. It. broccoli, pl. of broccolo cabbage-sprout or top, dim. of brocco shoot or stalk (see broach).]
One of the cultivated forms of the cabbage (Brassica oleracea botrytis asparagoides), the young inflorescence of which forms a close fleshy edible head: in its origin a more robust and hardy variety of the cauliflower.
