Strength that skipped the chapter on finesse and never looked back.
means A person or creature relying on raw, unthinking physical force rather than intellect or gentleness.
from From French 'brut' and Latin 'brutus,' meaning dull, heavy, or stupid — the same root that, almost too perfectly, gave us the name Brutus. Latin used it to mark the gap between humans and beasts: a 'brutum animal' was a creature without reason. English borrowed the word in that spirit, first for unreasoning animals, then for any human who acted like one.
