Cuinfo

/kwɪnˈfoʊ/ noun

Definition

An obsolete or extremely rare term possibly referring to a specific type of medieval leather armor or a regional variant of armor terminology.

Etymology

Possibly from a combination of cuir (French for 'leather') and info (Latin for 'within' or a suffix), though historical documentation of this specific term is scarce and its etymology remains uncertain.

Kelly Says

Cuinfo might be a 'ghost word'—a term that appears in old texts but has such unclear origins that historians still debate whether it was real or a scribe's error that got copied over centuries.
