| has gloss | (noun) medieval body armor that covers the chest and back cuirass |
| has gloss | eng: Cuirass (French cuirasse, Latin coriaceus, made of leather, from corium, the original breastplate being of leather, pronounced in English as "kwi-rass"), the plate armour, is formed of a single piece of metal or other rigid material or composed of two or more pieces, which covers the front of the wearer's person. In a suit of armour, however, since this important piece was generally worn in connection with a corresponding defence for the back, the term cuirass commonly is understood to imply the complete body-armour, including both the breast and the back plates. Thus this complete body armour appears in the Middle Ages frequently to have been described as a pair of plates. The corslet (Fr. corselet, diminutive of the Fr. corps, body), a comparatively light cuirass, is more strictly a breastplate only. Elizabeth I of England often wore a cuirass. |
