Curfs

/kɜrfs/ noun

Definition

Plural of curf; multiple instances of a restraint, strap, or the archaic word of uncertain meaning.

Etymology

Simple plural of 'curf' using the standard '-s' ending. Given the obscurity of 'curf,' the plural form is equally rare in modern English.

Kelly Says

Curfs might appear in medieval property inventories or clothing descriptions, but it's so archaic that modern scholars sometimes struggle to identify what objects are actually being described!
