Unnumbered source etymology
Original entry ↗noun
A fesse or bar cut off short at each end.
adj
Selected source glosses provide context, not a complete modern definition inventoryHumetté, couped.
Uncertain. The OED speculates that it might derive from Old French heaumet (whence helmet), a diminutive of heaume (“helm”) supposedly applied to the bar of it; however, compare the early (1600s) use of humet for a slab of stone or tombstone.
