Meaning
noun an industrial city and port in southwestern England near the mouth of the River Avon
originInherited from Middle English Bristowe, from Old English Bryċġstōw (literally “the place by the bridge”), from bryċġ + -stōw, with additional final /l/ due to hypercorrection from l-vocalizing accents. See bridge and stow for more. The tiddlywinks sense is associated with players from Bristol University.
