单词 curtana
释义

curtanan.

Brit. /kəːˈtɑːnə/, /kəːˈteɪnə/, U.S. /kərˈtɑnə/
Forms: Also Middle English curtein, 1600s curteyn, curteine, curtan n.
Etymology: The Anglo-Norman form curtein is identical with Old French cortain , courtain , the name of the sword of Roland, so called, according to the Karlamagnus-saga, because it broke a little at the point, when thrust into a block or perron of steel (Gaston Paris, Charlem. 370, and see Godefroy). The word is an extended derivative of Latin curtus , Romance corto , Old French cort , curt shortened, short: compare certain from Latin certus , and, for the sense, curtal adj. 3, curted , quot. 1610 for curted adj. at curt v. Derivatives. The Anglo-Latin form curtana appears to be an adjective feminine, agreeing with spatha, spada, sword.
The pointless sword borne before the kings of England at their coronation; emblematically considered the sword of mercy; also called the sword of King Edward the Confessor.In the Coronation procession Curtana is borne in the front rank of the regalia, supported to the right and the left by two pointed swords, the sword of justice, and the third sword, all three being drawn; they are followed by Garter King of Arms, the Lord Great Chamberlain, and the Sword of State borne in its scabbard; then follow the Sceptre, St. Edward's Crown, and the Orb, borne abreast; then the Paten and the Chalice abreast, immediately in front of the Sovereign.
