What does BARBUT mean in Scrabble?
noun
historical
A steel helmet of the fifteenth century that enclosed the head and had a T-shaped opening for the eyes and mouth.
The barbut was popular among Italian soldiers and spread through Europe in the Middle Ages, offering good protection while leaving the face less cramped than a fully closed visor. Its shape deliberately echoed the bronze helmets of ancient Greece, a fashion of the Renaissance. Museums display the barbut as a link between the old open helmet and the heavier armour that came later.
