  1. 1雙桅帆船；（軍中）禁閉室

    A brig is a sailing ship with two masts, common a few hundred years ago. The word is also used, especially in the US Navy and Marines, for a prison on board a ship, or a military jail on land — 'thrown in the brig' means put in that kind of prison.

From the word’s history

Shortened from brigantine, from Italian brigantino; the 'jail' sense from such ships used as prisons.
