high-brow—
1. (of people) highly intellectual or aesthetically refined:
- I’m not a very high-brow individual and I usually don’t enjoy abstract art.
2. (of things) sophisticated and requiring intellectual effort to be understood:
- Prior to going off on a high-browed tirade about “assumed incompatibilism,” you may want to learn the definition.
high-browed—
1. (of a building, doorway, etc.) having a high entrance:
- I approach the front entryway, and as expected, that high browed door whips right open for me.
2. = high-brow 1.:
- Classical music fans will think you’re pop, pop fans will see you as a high-browed “artiste.”
3. = high-brow 2.:
- But enough of the high-browed analysis. In the end, it’s a very good read.
