the.com/breast
two glands that built civilization, sold soda, and still confuse algorithms worldwide
means Either of the two soft, glandular swellings on a person's chest, capable in nursing parents of producing milk; also the front part of the upper body more generally.
from From Old English 'brēost,' going back to a Proto-Germanic root 'breust-' (cousin to German 'Brust' and Dutch 'borst'). Older scholars liked to trace it to a Proto-Indo-European root meaning 'to swell' — a fitting image, though that deeper link is reconstructed rather than certain. From the start the word meant more than anatomy: the breast was also the seat of feeling and conscience, which is why English still keeps the breast as the place where secrets are held and emotions 'swell.'
