enhendeeadj.
Heraldry.
Categories »
A spurious word found in some heraldic and other dictionaries in the phrase cross enhendee (given as synonym of cross potenee) where the adjective appears to be a corruption of Old French enheudée having a handle. The misreading occurs in French writers, e.g. Palliot, 1664.
