OriginMiddle English (in the sense 'encircle, surround, enclose'; formerly also as imbrace): from Old French embracer, based on Latin in- 'in' + bracchium 'arm'. bracelet from Late Middle English: Adopted from Old French, from bras ‘arm’, from Latin bracchium. Old French had a special word, brace for ‘both arms, two arms’. This is the source of brace (Middle English) from ‘two’ as in ‘a brace of pheasants’, and also for something that clasps, like the brace on teeth, or that supports. Embrace (Middle English), to clasp in both arms, goes back to the same source.
