bregður

Bregður is a term that can refer to several things, often related to Icelandic culture or specific terms within the language. In the context of Icelandic folklore, bregður can denote supernatural beings or spirits, sometimes benevolent and sometimes mischievous. These entities often play a role in traditional stories and beliefs, representing the unseen forces of nature or the spirit world.

More broadly, the Icelandic word "bregður" can also be a grammatical form. It is the plural of "bregður" or "bregða," which means to startle, to dart, or to change. Therefore, depending on the context, it might indicate multiple instances of a sudden movement, a change in state, or a collective reaction of surprise.

In some instances, "bregður" might also be used in specific contexts within Icelandic literature or music, referring to particular pieces, characters, or motifs. Without further context, pinpointing a single definitive meaning is challenging, as the term's usage is nuanced and dependent on the specific domain.
