cerementn.

/ˈsɪəmənt/

Forms: 1600s cerment, 1600s, 1800s cerement, 1800s cearment, searment.

Etymology: < French cirement ‘a waxing, a searing; a dressing, closing, covering, or mingling with wax’ (Cotgrave), < cirer to wax: compare also cere v. 2, to wrap (a corpse) in a waxed cloth or shroud. Always concretely in English: compare covering, wrap, wrapping, shroud, and similar verbal nouns. (Sometimes pronounced ˈsɛrɪ- by analogy with ceremony.)

a. Almost always in plural: Waxed wrappings for the dead; loosely, grave-clothes generally. Rarely in singular = cerecloth; winding-sheet, shroud. (Apparently caught up by modern writers from Shakespeare, and used in the same loose rhetorical way as urn, ashes, etc.)
