  Brocard \Broc"ard\, n. [Perh. fr. Brocardica, Brocardicorum
     opus, a collection of ecclesiastical canons by Burkhard,
     Bishop of Worms, called, by the Italians and French,
     Brocard.]
     An elementary principle or maximum; a short, proverbial rule,
     in law, ethics, or metaphysics.


     [1913 Webster]
  
           The legal brocard, "Falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus,"
           is a rule not more applicable to other witness than to
           consciousness.                           --Sir W.
                                                    Hamilton.
     [1913 Webster]
