Definition
Plural of coif; multiple close-fitting caps or head coverings, particularly traditional white linen covers.
Etymology
From Old French 'coife', the English plural 'coifs' follows standard English noun pluralization of this borrowed term.
Kelly Says
Medieval women wore coifs as everyday wear—they protected elaborate hairstyles and kept hair clean—yet today the word sounds archaic because our concept of women's head coverings has completely changed.
