Masonry just refers to working with bricks. It's old as time but we still make stuff out of bricks and you can still be a mason today.

It seems your are saying it is only relates to bricks? But it's not, it's any stone, cut or formed.

I suppose I’m using brick by its informal definition as just a construction block.

But yes, historically brick meant just one type and style of material.
