noun broh-SHUR Rare

Also means

pamphlet

Usage Note

Brochure in French refers to any stapled or folded printed booklet — a travel brochure, a product catalogue, or a short pamphlet. The verb brocher ('to stitch/staple') gave it its name. Note that the French word predates the English borrowing: 'brochure' entered English from French in the 18th century, so this is a genuine French origin word.

Examples
