| 单词 | kirtle | 
| 释义 | kirtlen.1 1.  A man's tunic or coat, originally a garment reaching to the knees or lower, sometimes forming the only body-garment, but more usually worn with a shirt beneath and a cloak or mantle above.In early instances frequently transl. Latin tunica. As the common name for an article of male attire, kirtle seems to have gone out of use about or shortly after 1500; writers of the 16th and 17th centuries use it chiefly in describing robes of state. It survived to some extent in dialects, applied to a short jacket or blouse (see quots. 1706,  1828).
