Definition
Stripped of a crest or crown; reduced in rank, status, or dignity; having lost distinction.
Etymology
From 'dis-' (removing/reversing) plus 'crested' (having a crest, from Old French 'creste' meaning a ridge or tuft). Originally used to describe heraldic symbols or actual crowns being removed.
Kelly Says
This word is almost extinct in modern English, surviving mainly in historical texts about medieval heraldry and politics—it's a perfect example of how specialized feudal vocabulary gets abandoned when the social systems that created it disappear.
