What does TUILLE mean in Scrabble?
noun
historical
A plate of armour that hung below the tassets to protect the front of the thigh.
A tuille was fastened at the waist and swung freely over the leg, giving a knight some cover at the join between the body armour and the leg harness without stopping him from walking or riding. The name comes from French tuile, meaning tile, describing the overlapping, tile-like way such plates were arranged on a suit of armour. A tuille is closely related to the tasset, another thigh-guard, and the two terms are sometimes used loosely for the same piece.
