Brute

The adjective brachial (in the 19th century from the Latin brachial "to the arm belonging" to Greek Brachion "upper arm, arm" borrowed) means in medicine "the arm concerning, to the upper arm properly" (cf.,.. As well brachialgia ). In general language, brute stands for "tangible, with raw physical strength", in the figurative sense for "unscrupulous, thoughtless, inconsiderate" or "powerful".
