词源

In most senses, a variant spelling of briquette. As a lighter, a borrowing of French briquet, from Middle French briquet (“piece, morsel”), from brique (“brick, block”) + -et (suffix forming masculine diminutives). The sword is so called due to its small size and perceived resemblance to a firelighter.
