Word History

The Combo

bropp doppelganger Broppleganger

lend of bropp (a bro-inflected familiar prefix, itself from bro, a casual term of male address) and doppelganger (German Doppelgänger, literally "double-goer," denoting an apparitional look-alike or near-double of a living person). The first element supplants the leading syllable of doppelganger, yielding broppleganger and aligning the word with the broader fraternal "bro-" lexicon.
