A short cloak or mantle worn in ancient Greece, a variant or shortened form of chlamys.
From Greek khlamus (χλαμύς), a type of garment. The form 'chlamyd' represents an alternative historical spelling or root form of the more common 'chlamys'.
Ancient Greek fashion shows up in surprisingly specific words—the chlamyd was the casual warrior's cloak, very different from the formal toga of Rome!
