nave-linen.

Brit.

/ˈneɪvlʌɪn/, U.S.

/ˈneɪvˌlaɪn/

Origin: Of uncertain origin. Perhaps a variant or alteration of another lexical item. Or perhaps formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: knave-line n.; nave n.¹, line n.²; navel adj., line n.²

Etymology: Probably a variant of knave-line n., or perhaps < nave n.¹ + line n.², or perhaps < navel adj. + line n.² Compare later navel line n.The nave-line developed as a result of changes in rigging technology which made the earlier knave-line obsolete; it fulfils a related function.

Nautical. Now rare (chiefly historical).

In square-rigged sailing vessels: a short line holding the parrel or truss of a yard to the mast or crosstrees, allowing freedom of movement for bracing.
