brow
Ridge above eye
The brow is the forehead or the ridge above the eye where the eyebrow grows.
By extension, it describes the top edge of a slope or hill: We crested the brow of the hill.
A furrowed brow suggests worry or concentration.
Brow appears in compounds describing intellectual pretension: highbrow, lowbrow, middlebrow.
