Etymology of BROKE COVERT

The phrase "broke covert" combines two separate terms with distinct etymologies.

1. "Broke": The term "broke" originated from Middle English "briken", which means "to break" or "to break loose". It is derived from Old English "brecan" with the same meaning. Over time, "broke" came to be used in various contexts, including the idea of escaping from confinement or hiding.

2. "Covert": The word "covert" comes from Old French "covert", which means "covered" or "sheltered". It entered Middle English via Anglo-Norman. A "covert" refers to a concealed or hidden place, such as a thicket or a thick forest.

Therefore, when combined, "broke covert" implies breaking free from a hidden or concealed location, emerging from a place of concealment, or running out from a covert position.
