An archaic or obsolete term, possibly referring to a leather-working or tanning establishment, or a place where leather goods and armor were made or stored.
Likely derived from Old French cuir (leather) plus -ie (a suffix indicating a place, business, or collection), similar to how 'boulangerie' means 'bakery' from 'boulang' (bread).
If cuirie meant a leather workshop, it's like calling a bakery a 'bread-place'—medieval French just stuck -ie on occupations to show where the work happened!
