sarcelly, a. Her.|ˈsɑːsəlɪ|
Forms: 6 sarsile, 6–7 (9) sarcele, 7 sarcelie, 8 cercilé, cercelly, 9 sarcel(l)é, 8– sarcelly, cercelée. Also erron. 9 sarcell.
[a. AF. sercelé, cerselé = OF. cercelé hooped, ringleted, curled, pa. pple. of cerceler, f. cercel (see sarcel).
F. cercelé and recercelé (see recercelée) were used synonymously in sense 1 (below). Beside these there was a F. resarcelé (see resarcelée, of obscure origin) applied to a cross on which another is placed of a different colour. Recercelé, and consequently cercelé, sarcelly, were confused with resarcelé and used for it (sense 2). The cross resarcelée was later sometimes blazoned as a cross voided (i.e. having the central part cut out), and recent English heraldic writers have further extended the use of sarcelly (and sarcelled) by applying them to birds and beasts cut through the middle (sense 3).]
1. Used to designate a variety of the cross moline in which the points are recurved or curled back.
The Book of St. Albans blazons this cross as retornyt and reuersit, F. recercilee, L. inversa.
