A type of fur or furry material used in medieval times, especially heraldic representations of fur or fur clothing.
From Old French 'furure,' derived from 'fur' meaning fur or pelt, ultimately from Germanic roots. The word entered English during the medieval period when fur was a precious commodity used both for warmth and status.
Medieval knights and nobles showed off their wealth by wearing elaborate furs, and heraldic artists invented special symbols to represent fur patterns on shields—furrure was their artistic way of showing luxury.
