Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum

Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from agricultural terminology, combining the Old Norse 'breiðr' (broad) and the Old English 'cæstan' (to cast), originally referring to the method of scattering seeds widely by hand over the earth. During the 20th century, the meaning evolved metaphorically to describe the transmission of audio and video signals through radio and television waves to a wide audience.
