Definition
Plural of frontal; pieces of cloth or decoration for the front of an altar; or frontal bones/regions in anatomy.
Etymology
From 'frontal' plus the plural suffix '-s.' In ecclesiastical use, refers to altar decorations; in anatomy, refers to structures in the frontal region.
Kelly Says
Medieval churches commissioned elaborate frontals (altar cloths) from master embroiderers—these textile masterpieces sometimes cost as much as paintings!
