Plural of gorget; pieces of armor protecting the throat, or ornamental neckwear, or distinctive colored throat patches on birds.
Plural of 'gorget,' from Old French 'gorge' (throat) plus '-et' (diminutive), ultimately from Latin 'gurga' meaning throat or whirlpool.
Ornithologists use 'gorget' to describe the iridescent throat patches on hummingbirds—the ruby-throated hummingbird's gorget is so brilliant it seems to light up, and the military armor term and the bird's throat marking are both named for the same body part concept.
