Definition
Plural of brassart; multiple pieces of arm armor or sets of armored sleeves from medieval warfare.
Etymology
Standard English pluralization of the variant spelling 'brassart' by adding '-s,' maintaining the alternative form of the original Old French term.
Kelly Says
Whether you call them 'brassards' or 'brassarts,' plural, knights needed complete pairs for both arms, and by the 15th century, these had become increasingly specialized and heavy as armor design evolved.
