Forms: Middle English gantelet, gauntelote, Middle English–1500s gauntelette, 1500s ga(u)ntlett, 1600s gantlet, Middle English– gauntlet.

Etymology: < French gantelet, diminutive of gant (Old French also guant, want) glove = Spanish guante, Portuguese guante (gauntlet), Italian guanto, medieval Latin gantus, wantus. The word is apparently of Germanic origin, though found only in Scandinavian as Old Norse vǫtt-r ( < Old Germanic *wantu-z), diminutive vett-lingr, Old Swedish vanter, Swedish Danish vante. Middle Dutch want is probably < Old French.Noreen suggests that the root may be related to Old Norse vinda, Old English windan to wind, by an interchange of t and d (= originally d, dh) dating from the Indo-European period.

a. A glove worn as part of medieval armour, usually made of leather, covered with plates of steel.
