chessmenn.

Brit.

/ˈtʃɛsmɛn/,

/ˈtʃɛsmən/, U.S.

/ˈtʃɛsmɛn/,

/ˈtʃɛsmən/

Forms: Rarely in singular chessman.

Etymology: < chess n.¹ + man n.¹ The Middle English chesse-meyne contains meyne a company (see meinie n. 3), < Old French meyné (also used for ‘les pièces du jeu d'échecs’, Godefroy); but the view that chess-men (Caxton) arose from this, either by substitution or by confusion, is untenable, the word for ‘(chess-)man’ in Anglo-Norman being regularly hom.

The pieces (eight ‘pieces’ proper and eight pawns on each side) with which chess is played.
