A small ring or band worn around the arm, wrist, or ankle, especially in historical or ceremonial contexts.
Diminutive form derived from 'anlas' or related to 'annlet,' possibly from Old French elements meaning 'ring' or 'circle.' Used primarily in medieval and historical descriptions.
Archaeological records show anlets worn as both practical fasteners for clothing and magical amulets—a single piece of jewelry could serve as both belt and blessing!
