A separate or detachable part of a garment, armor, or structure that covers or supports the elbow area.
Compound of 'elbow' and 'piece' (from Old French 'piece'). Describes a distinct component designed to protect, support, or cover the elbow region of a larger item.
Medieval armor craftspeople created specialized 'elbowpieces' because the elbow is a joint that moves constantly and wears out quickly—it's the reason modern motorcycle jackets still have reinforced elbow patches!
