cuirassn.

/kwɪˈras/

/kjuːˈras/

Forms: α. Middle English curas, curesse, quyras, Middle English–1600s curace, 1500s (plural quiracies), 1500s–1600s curase, cuirace, cuirasse, cuyrasse, 1600s curasse, quirace, 1600s– cuirass; β. 1500s cuyratz, 1500s–1600s curats, 1600s curets, cuirats; γ. 1500s–1600s curet, curete, curat, curate, 1500s curiet, curret, currette, 1600s cuiret.

Etymology: In the forms curas, quyras, curace, cuirasse, < French cuirasse (1418 in Hatzfeld & Darmesteter), < cuir leather, after Provençal coirassa, Italian corazza, Spanish coraza < Latin coriācea, adjective (feminine) leathern, < corium leather; the medieval Latin corācium, corātium, cuirass, is from the modern languages. The original Old French name was cuiriée (later quirie) < Latin type *coriāta, whence Middle English quirie, quirre. In 16th cent. a frequent English form was curats, cuirats, apparently under the influence of Italian curazza: compare Middle Low German koritz, Old Danish körritz, kyrritz, etc. This being, from its final s, treated as a plural, gave the mutilated singular curat, curate, etc., common 1560–1650. The stress was then on the first syllable, but was subsequently under French influence shifted to the second: Bailey 1730 has cuiˈrass.

1. A piece of armour for the body (originally of leather); spec. a piece reaching down to the waist, and consisting of a breast-plate and a back-plate, buckled or otherwise fastened together; still worn by some European regiments of cavalry.The breastplate alone was sometimes called a cuirass, or the two pieces combined were called (a pair of) cuirasses, and the breast-plate a half-cuirass. The word has also been used in a general sense for all kinds of ancient close-fitting defensive coverings for the body, made of leather, metal, or other material.
