单词 enmanché
释义

enmanchéemmanchéadj.

Forms: Also 1500s emaunche.
Etymology: < French emmanché, < en- (see en- prefix1) + manche, masculine, handle. In French heraldry the word is used (1) of an axe or other weapon, having the handle of a certain tincture different from that of the blade; (2) of the field, denoting what English heralds call barry-pily . Neither of these senses is recognised in England, though the former appears in some recent English dictionaries. The English senses given below are of doubtful authenticity; sense 2 is perhaps founded on the erroneous derivation < manche, feminine, sleeve.
Heraldry. Obsolete.
1. Of the field: (Sir J. Ferne's engraving represents ‘per fesse dancetté of two points’).
ΚΠ
1586 J. Ferne Blazon Gentrie I. 199 He beareth Emaunche [printed Emanuche] Arg. and Gewles.
2. Of a chief: (see quot.).
ΚΠ

1847 in J. Craig New Universal Dict. ; and in mod. Dicts.
