词源：
brat (n.)c. 1400, “a cloak of coarse cloth” (Chaucer); probably the same word as Old English bratt “cloak,” which is from a Celtic source (compare Old Irish bratt “cloak, cloth”).
As a term for a child, William Dunbar’s Flyting (c. 1500) is usually cited as first use; but Dictionaries of the Scots Language questions whether Dunbar’s use means “child” or “garment.” The child sense is clearly attested by 1530s. The transferred meaning is perhaps from the notion of “child’s apron,” but OED notes “evidence of the transition of sense has not been found.” In earliest uses the implication is of an unwanted or unplanned child rather than a reference to behavior; differing from a bastard in that a married couple might have a brat.
Hollywood Brat Pack (modeled on 1950s Rat Pack) is from 1985. Brattery “nursery” is attested from 1788.Related entries & more
下面是词源的翻译（机器翻译比较难翻，参考着看）
布拉特 (n.)c. 1400，“一件粗布斗篷”（乔叟）；可能与古英语bratt“斗篷”同一个词，它来自凯尔特语源（比较古爱尔兰语bratt“斗篷，布料”）。作为儿童术语，William Dunbar 的 Flyting（约 1500 年）通常被引用为首次使用；但《苏格兰语言词典》质疑邓巴的用法是否意味着“孩子”或“服装”。 1530年代清楚地证明了儿童意识。转移的意义可能来自“儿童围裙”的概念，但《牛津英语词典》指出“尚未发现意义转变的证据”。在最早的用法中，它的含义是指不想要的或计划外的孩子，而不是指行为。与私生子不同的是，已婚夫妇可能有一个私生子。 Hollywood Brat Pack（以 20 世纪 50 年代的 Rat Pack 为蓝本）源自 1985 年。Brattery“苗圃”的证明源自 1788 年。相关条目及更多
