What does COUTER mean in Scrabble?
noun
historical
A piece of plate armour designed to protect the elbow.
A couter curved around the joint of the arm to shield it while still letting a knight bend the elbow freely, an important balance for anyone expected to swing a sword in battle. Armourers usually attached the couter to the arm harness alongside plates covering the upper and lower arm, so the whole limb stayed protected in overlapping sections. The word appears mainly in descriptions of medieval and Renaissance armour rather than in everyday speech.
