What does BEVOR mean in Scrabble?
noun
historical
A piece of plate armour that protected the lower part of the face, chin, and throat, worn as part of a medieval knight's helmet.
A bevor covered the vulnerable lower face and throat left exposed by many open-faced medieval helmets, either as a separate piece strapped around the neck or as a hinged attachment to the helmet itself. Armorers commonly paired the bevor with a sallet, a rounded helmet popular in the fifteenth century that left much of the wearer's lower face uncovered on its own. A knight could often raise or lower the bevor for breathing and visibility when not in direct combat, then close it fully before a charge. Museums and historical reenactors still display and use the bevor as a recognizable piece of late medieval armour.
