flasque Her.|flɑːsk, -æ-|
[a. F. flasque.]
A bearing similar to a flanch, but occupying a smaller part of the field (see flanch n.1).
The heraldic use is not recorded in F., but in the sense ‘cheek of a gun-carriage’ (see flask n.3) it was a synonym of flanque, which had also a heraldic sense = flanch n.1
