shako|ˈʃækəʊ|
Also schakos, schako; and see chaco.
[a. Magyar csákó, short for csákó süveg, more correctly csákos süveg peaked cap (csákos being an adj. f. csák peak, believed by native scholars to be a. G. zacken point, spike).
The word has been adopted into several European langs.; the F. schako may be the proximate source. While the shako was still worn in the British army, the pronunciation was |ˈʃækəʊ| among officers, but |ʃəˈkuː| in the ranks.]
A military cap in the shape of a truncated cone, with a peak and either a plume or a ball or ‘pom-pom’. (Not now worn by British soldiers.)
