单词 chape
释义

chapen.

/tʃeɪp/
Forms: (In Middle English Scottish chaip, schape, 1500s shape, 1700s cheap.)
Etymology: < French chape ‘a Churchman's Cope; a Judge's Hood;..the chape or locket of a scabbard; the top or crown on the top of a Bell; a Mill-hoope, or Mill-case’ (Cotgrave); ‘said in the arts of certain things which are applied over others, cover them, or envelop them’ (Littré), e.g. the cap of a compass needle, etc.; < late Latin capa, cappa, hood, cap, cape. Hence, according to Diez, Spanish chapa and Portuguese chapa ‘plate, thin piece of metal with which any thing may be plated’, which may also have influenced the English use.
1. A plate of metal with which anything is covered, overlaid, or ornamented. Obsolete.
ΘΚΠ

?a1400 Morte Arth. 2522 He bare sessenande in golde thre grayhondes of sable, With chapes & cheynes of chalke whytte sylver.
2. The metal plate or mounting of a scabbard or sheath; particularly that which covers the point. In some early quots. it may mean the scabbard or sheath itself.The following explanations also occur in dictionaries; ‘The transverse guard of a sword for a protection to the hand’ (Fairholt, cited in Ogilvie's Imperial Dict.). Johnson says ‘the catch of any thing by which it is held in its place; as the hook of a scabbard by which it sticks in the belt; the point by which a buckle is held to the back strap’ [citing All's Well ‘the chape of his dagger’]. But here the chape of a dagger appears to be confused with that of a buckle.
