单词 lamboys
释义

lamboysn.

/ˈlambɔɪz/
Etymology: In quot. 1548 (the source from which the word is derived) the meaning is obscure, and it has been suspected that lamboys is a mistake for some form of jambers (jamber n.) or jambeaux (jambeau n.).
Historical.
The name given by modern antiquaries to: An imitation in steel of the ‘bases’ or skirt, reaching from the waist to the knee; occasionally found in armour of the Tudor period. If the word meant what Meyrick supposes, there is an anachronism in Hall's use of it.
ΘΚΠ
society > armed hostility > military equipment > armour > body armour > [noun] > armour for lower part of body
