An alternative spelling of 'appendage'; a body part attached to the main body, or something attached as an addition.
From Old French 'appendage,' derived from Latin 'appendere' (to hang to) with the suffix '-age.' This particular spelling variant is archaic.
Medieval documents used 'appennage' for what we now spell 'appendage'—spelling wasn't standardized until the 1700s, so old texts seem charmingly inconsistent to modern readers!
