gartern.

Brit.

/ˈɡɑːtə/, U.S.

/ˈɡɑrdər/

Forms: Middle English gartare, gartere, gardere, gart(o)ur, 1500s Scottish gartan(e, -tain, 1500s–1800s Scottish garten, Middle English– garter.

Etymology: < Old French gartier, jartier, jarretier (also jartiere, French jarretière, whence Spanish jarretera, Italian giarrettiera), < Old French garet, jaret (French jarret) the bend of the knee (in men), the lower part of the leg (in animals) = Spanish jarrete, Italian garretto. A form jarre, garra, in French dialects answers to Spanish garra, Portuguese garra, and may be of Celtic origin = Breton gar, Welsh gâr the ham or leg-bone; if so the words must have spread from Old French to the other Romanic tongues. The substitution of n for r in the Scottish forms is not accounted for.

a. A band worn round the leg, either above or below the knee, to keep the stocking from falling down.

a. the Garter, the badge of the highest order of English knighthood. Hence, membership of this order; (also) Order of the Garter.The institution of the order is commonly (on the authority of Froissart) attributed to Edward III about the year 1344. By the time of Selden (1614) it was traditionally asserted that the garter was that of the Countess of Salisbury, which fell off while she danced with the King, who picked it up and tied it on his own leg, saying to those present Honi soit qui mal y pense. The Garter as the badge of the Order is a ribbon of dark-blue velvet, edged and buckled with gold, and bearing the above words embroidered in gold, and is worn below the left knee; garters also form part of the ornament of the collar worn by the Knights.

Hence, membership of this order; (also) Order of the Garter.The institution of the order is commonly (on the authority of Froissart) attributed to Edward III about the year 1344. By the time of Selden (1614) it was traditionally asserted that the garter was that of the Countess of Salisbury, which fell off while she danced with the King, who picked it up and tied it on his own leg, saying to those present Honi soit qui mal y pense. The Garter as the badge of the Order is a ribbon of dark-blue velvet, edged and buckled with gold, and bearing the above words embroidered in gold, and is worn below the left knee; garters also form part of the ornament of the collar worn by the Knights.
