brush
Painter's hand implement
Brush, a noun and verb, has three distinct meanings.
The implement with bristles comes in many different types (toothbrush, paintbrush, hairbrush) and when you use one of these, you brush.
Vegetation that is close to the ground is called brush.
Finally, a brief encounter or conflict with someone or something is a brush; or you can say that you brush up against such a thing or person.
