Brit.

/ˈhəʊlstə/,

/ˈhɒlstə/, U.S.

/ˈhoʊlstər/

Forms: Also 1600s hulster, 1700s houlster.

Etymology: Corresponds to modern Dutch holster (1678 in Hexham) in same sense: compare also Icelandic husltr case, sheath, Swedish hölster, Danish hylster sheath, holster, Gothic hulistr veil; also Old English heolster hiding place, concealment; all from ablaut stem hel-, hul- to cover. The German holfter, hulfter holster, Middle High German hulfter quiver, Old High German hul(u)ft covering, appear to be from a different root. The history of modern English and Dutch holster, before 17th cent., does not appear.

A leather case for a pistol fixed to the pommel of a horseman's saddle or worn on the belt.
