What does TASSE mean in Scrabble?
noun
historical
A metal plate that hung from the lower edge of a breastplate to protect the upper thigh.
A suit of plate armour typically had several tasses arranged side by side so that they overlapped like a short skirt below the waist. The design let a knight bend and ride while still keeping the thigh covered by solid metal. Tasses are closely related to the piece called a tasset, and the two names were sometimes used for the same part depending on the armourer. Museum descriptions of medieval and Renaissance armour still use tasse for this specific plate rather than for the armour as a whole.
